Testimonials for Helen Dalley
Thank you for helping to make our 5th Annual News Awards such a success. The change in format this year worked brilliantly, in no small measure because of your performance as MC. During rehearsals that afternoon I was struck by your professionalism and attention to detail to make sure we got it just right for the night. The way you translated the rehearsal into a polished "live" performance during the awards ceremony gave me a new appreciation of your craft, particularly the skill involved in taking a highly structured script and delivering it in a way that made it look completely natural.
Chairman and Chief Executive News Limited
Helen Dalley is an outstanding investigative journalist who through her intensive research of the topic pre the evening enabled her to deliver on the mark! Helen built immediate rapport with the audience and was able to leverage this during the evening with the two panel interviews she conducted drawing out the messages that were so important to the success of the conference. I would highly recommend any organisation wanting to challenge the team to engage.
The Executive Connection
I would like to thank you for your participation at the Tax Office’s Senior Executive Conference we held in April 2007. Your Master of Ceremonies style was professional, intelligent and engaging and was a major influence on the overall success of the conference. The conference was very successful and there have been many positive comments from participants about the high standard of the guest speakers. Your contribution helped us achieve the purpose of the conference, which was to discover and think about the future of the tax system and administration and to build a stronger sense of community among the Tax Office's senior leaders.
