"I am writing to serve as a reference for Denise Harrington and the DMH Consulting Group. We recently selected Denise and her firm through a highly competitive process to provide communications training to an accomplished group of leading scholars in education research. The individuals receiving this communications coaching are themselves highly experienced faculty members with strong reputations for their research contributions and their experience presenting work beyond their classrooms at major conferences and meetings worldwide. Our specific aim was to prepare them to give powerful and persuasive TED‐Type talks in order to deepen the appreciation of policy and thought leaders from other sectors that science and scholarship matter in their lives.”
