What People Are Saying About Meredith
On Strategic Services
“Meredith's excellent strategic guidance, message development, and coaching of our senior leadership team were critical to the success of our media strategy. Meredith worked closely with us to develop compelling messages, pitch major media outlets, and provide personalized media training and coaching for specific interviews for senior staff. Her advice and support were indispensable and resulted in significant coverage across a number of local news networks, as well as several feature pieces that provided broad exposure for our organization.”
— Cheryl Wittenstein, Director of Marketing of The Ark
On Media Training
“Meredith's media training was incredibly insightful and helpful, for our team and for me as a leader. It helped ground us specifically in how we translate our message—what we want to say to the media and what we want them to know about us. Meredith also makes media training easy. She makes it feel like you can do it and without needing years of education in communications to succeed. She gave our team practical lessons and inspired them, which was invaluable. Meredith's masterful facilitation style engages trainees to mobilize and activate around communications and builds confidence in a space where people don't normally walk confidently, and that is as much about Meredith and her delivery as anything else.”
— Brenda Battle, Senior Vice President, Community Health Transformation, Chief DEI Officer at UChicago Medicine
On Working With Public Policy Students
“Meredith teaches with deep wells of empathy for her students, passion to see them succeed, and wisdom born of experience. At the Harris School of Public Policy, she teaches an incredibly popular course in which students learn how to prepare policy documents for a real client that then uses the work the students complete to further their mission and achieve their strategic goals. I can’t think of a more valuable experience for a graduate student, nor can I think of a better instructor to help them bridge the gap between the analytical toolkit we teach here at Harris and the real-world communication challenges they will face every day as policy leaders.”
— David Chrisinger, Executive Director of the Harris School of Public Policy Writing Program
