| I sought out to Jill to polish my presentation
skills for a large industry event and came away from the experience
with so much more than I expected! Working with Jill was life changing.
She coached me to connect with my audience through being myself and
speaking from my heart. Mastering those concepts allowed me to fully
value the opportunity and actually enjoy the experience of public
speaking. Months after the event I still apply the concepts Jill has
taught me, whether in meetings with my executive team or when working
with a non-profit group, to ensure that every interaction is purposeful
and meaningful.

Four years ago, I was elected head
of a Community organization. I knew public speaking was an important
part of my new position and I had butterflies in my stomach when I
thought about standing up in front of a large group.
Chernekoff Communications came to my rescue. Jill has brought me
out of my "public speaking shell". She has given me so
many tools and great feedback to improve my presentations and really
boost my confidence. Jill has helped with my delivery of speeches
as well as the flow and content. Jill has been very patient with
me, but has also been a cheerleader, always encouraging me to push
myself. I now feel confident, as opposed to petrified, when delivering
remarks. Just as important, when I speak in front of groups, I feel
people are now listening attentively to what I say. Thank you Jill!

Working with Jill is
both an experience and a privilege. As I embarked on my new career
as an author it was suggested to me that I obtain media training
before I engaged in any public or media appearances. Although I
was always comfortable doing public speaking, I thought media training
was just about honing your speech patterns and learning how to answer
reporter questions. Yet, from just one session with Jill, I experienced
a totally different viewpoint about media training, one that was
so much more in- depth and comprehensive. The beauty of working
with Jill is that she has the inside track on how TV, radio, and
news conferences really work from her past experience as a top notch
reporter and TV news broadcaster.
Jill has a unique way in working with you; she’s precise,
constructive with suggestions for improvement yet presents it to
you in a way that is neither threatening or overly critical. After
your sessions with Jill, you can feel confident knowing what your
message is and how to get it across easily to your audience. Being
trained by someone like Jill is a real privilege. Not only do you
get to work with such a a superb professional but also someone who
truly has a heart felt interest in helping you become the best you
can be. It doesn’t get any better than that!

There are a significant number of
companies in the market today that provide “presentation skills”
courses. What differentiates Chernekoff Communications from the
rest of these companies is the emphasis on the complete “communications
package”. While presentation skills are important, they only
represent a part of solution and Jill has developed an outstanding
program that focuses on all aspects of executive communication from
one-on-one relationships to large forum presentations and media
training. Jill effectively combines her extensive media and industry
experience with her background in professional development to create
a program that is both unique and relevant to today’s business
climate. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the program and have
effectively utilized many of the “tools” I learned to
further progress in my career.

“If you could
make just one telephone call - before your high-stakes TV appearance,
presentation, or highly publicized speaking event – do yourself
a favor – call Jill Chernekoff at Chernekoff Communications!
Jill Chernekoff is a Media Training Pro and she will be the Ace
up your sleeve. Jill is a winner who has seen it all and helped
professionals like you many, many times. Jill will work with you,
coach you, teach you new skills, provide useful feedback and prep
you to succeed – and to win.
After producing an award-winning documentary, I was invited to
appear on National TV for my first-ever television interview to
discuss the film. It was an important opportunity and I knew that
I needed help to prepare. I called Jill and she was remarkable.
Jill helped me to thoughtfully prepare for my appearance and convey
to the viewers some of the key points concerning my documentary
film, Moon Beat. I could not have done it without Jill’s help
and I am very grateful to Jill for her kindness, patience, humor
and amazing insights, all of which helped me enormously.
Take my advice, if you have an important speaking engagement, or
if are going on TV for the first time, or maybe the first time in
awhile and need a refresher course, break the glass and place an
emergency call to Jill and get the Media Training assistance you
need. Ghostbusters, Spiderman, Mighty Mouse, Batman and even Superman
can’t help you this time. It’s time for you to call
Jill Chernekoff.
I did and I am so glad I did. You won’t regret it!

When I first began working with Jill I had in mind
that I wanted to become the best I could be as a speaker/presenter.
After just two meetings I was convinced she had a ton of knowledge
coupled with a great approach that would lead me to accomplishing
my goal. What I wasn’t counting on was how much Jill’s
guidance along with the insight and wisdom she imparted during the
process would impact so many other aspects of my career and personal
life. Through my interaction with Jill I have become better…period.

never giving up on your passions or your dreams, but I am also a realist
in knowing that you must have the right people around you to assist
you, guide you and advise you in order to get to the top of whatever
mountain you are attempting to climb.
A year and a half ago, when I decided I wanted to consistently
be part of a national news network, I hired Jill Chernekoff. I now
have a signed contract and I am on staff at the Fox News Channel
as a contributor.
Without Jill’s training, experience and devoted interest
in my goals, I could have never done it. She is an invaluable person
when it comes to communication skills, training and presentation.
Jill’s persistence and quiet criticism enabled me to look
in the mirror and change what needed to be changed. She is by far
the best in what she does!
Realize your dreams and Jill Chernekoff will help them come true.

Strategy & vision are an integral part of Almo

Jill shattered my misconceptions about how to
connect with an audience. She quieted the voices in my head so I could
communicate the message in my heart. Jill goes so far beyond training,
coaching or mentoring-she approached me and my message by looking
through my eyes. My message is unique and powerful because it's my
truth. Jill enabled me to quiet the voices in my head so I could communicate
my unique message powerfully. Before you can speak your unique message
you have to find it.

I went into my sessions with Chernekoff Communications
looking to gain the skills to become a better Public Speaker. I
came out of these sessions with not only a deep knowledge about
public speaking, but also the tools I needed to show up with “executive
presence”. I am young in the workforce and I feel that the
skills I learned through working with Jill gave me the competitive
edge I needed to excel quickly in my industry. I utilize these skills
and tools in all functions of my daily life; not just in work. This
work has without a doubt, changed my behavior, disposition, and
complete outlook about my future. I would highly recommend Jill
Chernekoff to anyone looking to better themselves in any aspect
of professional excellence.

Jill Chernekoff's work is most amazing.

"Jill kicked off the NYC Women's
LifeMoxie! Power Day with such power and punch that the audience didn't
know what hit them - they were on the edge of their seats soaking
up every word Jill said. She led them through intense work on their
communication skills and styles, including hands-on training for some
lucky participants. Jill worked with a few volunteers on stage in
front of the audience and -on the spot-transformed their communication,
and with that came a transformation in their confidence! From weak,
insecure, flustered individuals came confident, self-assured, articulate
businesswomen that just needed some expert TLC from Jill Chernekoff."

With over 30 years experience in sales and marketing
and having made over 1,000 speeches, I had serious doubts about
what I could learn from a presentation coach. But, WOW, was I ever
surprised! Jill showed me techniques and gave me strategies that
would have made my life a whole lot easier and my presentations
more effective had I only known about them years ago. So, thank
you Jill, and count me in as a long-term client. I’d be foolish
not to be one!

out of my box” in order to improve. Jill has a way to make
this challenge enjoyable for me and at that same time very beneficial
to my work. I encourage you to sign up to work with Jill. It is
so worth it! “

event that was very important to my firm and me. She was able to
teach me with proven techniques and guide me, drawing from her own
