Bio
Hollie Hill
Recently, I had the great opportunity to have Brian mentor me in the art of interview presentations. I had applied for a manager role in an organization that wanted to make sure that leaders were able to clearly articulate themselves in front of a group, which is a practice I totally recommend. Brian was phenomenal; he helped me practice my speaking points—ensuring that the message was clear and concise— and then worked with me through practice questions. All in all, it only took him a couple of hours, but his methods are so effective that within that short time, I gained a tremendous amount of confidence for my big day. Sometimes, it’s really easy to get bogged down in one’s own mind. Having Brian, who specializes in giving presentations for a variety of audiences, provide guidance and instruction was so incredibly valuable for me. And, case in point to the effectiveness of his techniques, I got the job! I heartily endorse Brian as a presentation master!

Brian has a wonderful, natural communication style that engages and pulls in his audience - at both an executive, business lead or technical level. He's thoughtful, respectful, relentlessly chases results and is the consummate team player.

Brian is a fountain of knowledge and has been great about sharing and giving sound advice. His work over the last decade on the JetsBlog.com has been tremendous...it's a pleasure to read his (and his team's) posts on a daily basis. The writing is always excellent while giving tremendous insights into the game and how the team is run. He's built an incredible resource for us Jets fans that's truly inspiring.
