Testimonials

"Mastering the art of communication is essential for any lawyer. This week, a group of our people had the opportunity to attend a dynamic and impactful session with Sandra Di Girolamo from ThinkBox Media on "Presenting With Confidence".
Mixed with good humour and engaging anecdotes, Sandra provided her practical tips for delivering impactful presentations with greater confidence and clarity.
At Jackson McDonald, we’re committed to continuous learning and supporting our people’s professional development to excel.
Thank you, Sandra, for sharing your expertise and practical insights. The feedback has been fantastic and we may need to have you back again for those that missed out!"

"There is nobody in Perth with a better understanding of television, news and production standards than Sandra.
Sandra is one of Australia’s most experienced television producers who has helped 7NEWS develop new programmes and documentaries like Flashpoint. She is a talent whisperer who can visualise concepts and ideas like no other person I’ve worked with, and deliver them to global standards.

She is a no nonsense, roll your sleeves up, and get on with the job, kind of a producer. Unstoppable."

"This week I finally overcame one of my biggest fears. Public speaking. 

There is no way I could have achieved this without the amazing coaching by Sandra Di Girolamo of ThinkBox Media. I knew from the moment that I met her that I was in safe hands. This woman is super smart, experienced and most of all just an amazing human. When I texted her in a panic a few days before the forum she replied “Smart. Capable. Ready." And with Sandra's diligent and expert coaching, I really felt I was. If you're looking to conquer your fear of public speaking, reach out to Sandra. You won't regret it".

"Having dealt with Sandra Di Girolamo for many years I was aware of the sharp news sense and innate story-telling ability that has made her one of Australia’s leading journalist-producers. So when it came to turning clients of The PR Collaborative into awesome media talent, I knew Sandra was the secret weapon we needed. Her understanding of what it takes to be topical and relevant, combined with practical tips and techniques for achieving messaging cut-through has given our clients from a variety of business and non-profit organisations a real media edge. "

"Melissa and Sandra from ThinkBox worked with the Perth College Leadership Team and Council to further develop our media communication skills. The work was informative and engaging with hands-on training and practice. All questions were welcome and the ThinkBox Team put everyone at ease. Interacting with the media is not natural for everyone, however all members of the team surfaced from this training more confident and with a better understanding of the important elements of effective media communication. We would highly recommend this training to other organisations looking to empower team members in media communications. "

"It’s not about you! That was the biggest takeaway from today’s MC coaching session with the brilliant Sandra Di Girolamo from ThinkBox Media . I have so much to learn from Sandra’s approach: when you step on stage as an MC, it’s never about being the star of the show; it’s about the event and the audience.

Thanks again Sandra — you are so generous with your insights, and I can’t wait to put these tips into practice the next time I’m MCing at Business News".

"Thinkbox provided media training workshops for our ambassador team at our Annual Conference. They complimented the scientific program, providing an opportunity for important health and safety risk communication skills development of our hygienists and leaders."

"The media training provided by ThinkBox has given our team members the confidence and skills to tell our stories in meaningful ways that are attractive to news outlets. The training is contemporary and relevant with plenty of opportunities to practice skills as you go. We have also worked with ThinkBox on the production of a special commemorative video and we couldn’t be happier with the results."

"Sandra was an excellent facilitator for the recent AIM Media Training course I attended. Her presentation was engaging, practical and focused on developing the skills of the people in the room. She provided invaluable feedback on presentation skills and gave insight into how to formalise the approach to media, control the narrative and effectively convey messaging to the target audience. 10/10 would recommend!"

"Having been asked to make a presentation I was pointed in ThinkBox's direction for help. Within the first 15 minutes I felt completely comfortable that I was in the right place. They helped work through my content and coached my presenting skills for best delivery. It was a really good experience and I'm looking forward to working with Think Box again."

"Thinkbox are experts - they are professional and efficient and provided us with great local knowledge to add value to our production. They are very well connected in Perth and across the media industry and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I look forward to working with the team again soon. "

"My training session covered a comprehensive scope of public speaking and preparing for presentations. Sandra is talented, experienced and knowledgeable, her session was very practical and engaging. The techniques discussed are empowering and designed to succeed... had an amazing experience and can’t recommend it highly enough! "

"I want to let you in on a secret…I hate public speaking!
And look when I say hate - I mean it scares me.
I don’t naturally speak off the cuff, I get the palm sweats before introducing myself in a group and the thought of speaking in front of 100 people last year at an event was so far out of my comfort zone I couldn’t even have a glass of wine beforehand!
Thankfully I was introduced to Sandra Di Girolamo, an amazing public speaking coach, content producer, superwoman!
In the weeks leading up to the event she remotely coached me helping to craft the script, practise my poise and nail the punchlines and I shocked myself…after all that stress I did not have to refer to my que cards!
If you are looking for some coaching for yourself or team to improve on their communication skills I could not recommend Sandra more highly 🙌🏻"

"ThinkBox Media training was remarkable. It was customised to our business needs and contributed to building capability. "

"Our team learnt so much from Sandra in regards to preparing for media interviews and ensuring we are controlling the narrative and getting our key messages across. We loved the preparation worksheets as well as being able to practice in front of the camera and then watching the interviews back to see how we can do better. Thanks so much ThinkBox Media for all of your help. "
