WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT
JOY SHIKAZE...

“Joy is known as an expert in the field and she certainly proved that again today. …A lot of people in today’s media training session were new to the business and so were learning new things. But those of us that were veterans had great reminders of things that we need to be doing…. Media training is absolutely critical to what we do, but not just in terms of reactive relationships with the media but proactive relationships.”

Scott McHammond,
VP of Communications, Stakeholder Relations, Ontario Chamber of Commerce
