Book Orly for your next conference or event.

“Before I took your course, I never knew how to talk about my skills, my degree, and myself as a professional. I now have a flexible framework I can use to explain what value I can bring to a project or organization. That weekend taught me more than some of my semester long classes!”

“Orly’s mini-course was exactly what our creative and ambitious students needed to help them make the transition into their job hunting. Orly has a very well-developed process for helping individuals learn to recognize their own strengths and abilities to contribute, and she understands the ways in which people need to “sell themselves” in the new world of work.”

“Orly delivered a thoroughly thought provoking Keynote at our national organization’s fall meeting to more than 100 of our members. She shared compelling data on “The New Age of Commerce” and challenged a room full of scientists to shift from “selling products” to “helping their customers discover” why their products are right for them. The insights she shared, gave many of us a new way to think about our online messaging. Anyone looking for a gifted and engaging speaker should be talking to Orly.”

“Orly kept nearly 90 attendees entirely engaged when she spoke at our SIM Philadelphia Chapter meeting on the topic of selling in the digital age. I have received great feedback from members who appreciated the information she shared and her many tips on how to get the most out of social media. As a result, I will be recommending Orly to SIM National so she can share her knowledge with other chapters.”

“I had the pleasure of experiencing one of Orly’s seminars hosted by American Executive Centers. Orly understands how to translate a company’s brand story across the right social media platform so your company can cut through the noise and build brand awareness. I highly recommend Orly for your next conference or event…you won’t disappointed!”
