"Compass International is always my top choice for media training. I know that after a session with Karen Lam, my clients will not only feel comfortable talking with the press and analysts, they'll also be able to articulate their story better than ever before. On more than one occasion, participants who had previously been skeptical about the value of media training have gone out of their way to thank me for scheduling a session with Karen."

"Thoughtful, focused, professional, challenging...Karen Lam's media training session was one of the best I've experienced. Having managed media training for a global Fortune 500 corporation, I've had the chance to work with a range of talented trainers. Karen stands apart in her ability to draw out the strengths of each trainee, help organizations and individuals formulate and shape messages, and turn challenging situations into opportunities."

"Compass International came highly recommended. Karen Lam's dynamic leadership and training skills left our top executives wishing they had more time. The unanimous response from our CEO, CFO and CSO was, "When can we have her back?" Several months later Karen led a second seminar as outstanding as the first. She brings incredible value -- and can do so in a day's time or less to fit an executive's busy schedule."
