What do you do?
I educate, inform, inspire and coach.

What is unique about your approach?
I have great passion and respect for anyone who wants to improve and expand their business/organization. I am committed to "de-mystifying" the subjects of advertising, publicity and public speaking in a simple, concise formula that gets results.

What if I'm in in a big hurry? Can I schedule a training session for tomorrow without attending a seminar?
Yes, I try to be flexible. Just about anything or any schedule can be arranged. I respect your business obligations and try to be as accomodating as possible.

What skills can you teach in your workshops/seminars?
All workshops and seminars focus on helping to maximize all marketing and publicity efforts. All forms of electronic and print media are broken down in easy to understand language and will help corporations; small business owners and non profit agencies to develop successful media campaigns. There are also seminars that teach writing for press releases; Public Service Announcements and public speaking. Private coaching is available for public speaking and interviewing.

What media opportunities do you help clients look for?
There are many "secrets" in the media industry. You will learn what will work for your specific business or agency.

Do you also do speech and presentation training?
This is probably one of the most dreaded experiences in life. Publically speaking is a challenge but a NECESSITY if you want to succeed. There are many tips and ideas that I have used and shared for more than 30 years. They work too.

What speaking situations do you help clients prepare for?
If you are a CEO and are intimidated about being interviewed by the press (TV, radio or print)----this is a program you need.
For example, if you are a business owner who needs to give a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce---or if you are a volunteer who needs to speak to service groups or the PTA or your church group---I have lots of ideas for easing the strain of public speaking. My clients tell me they are much more comfortable after learning some "tricks and tips" from me.

What would WEV (Women's Economic Ventures) do without Cyndy Ovalle? Cyndy has been an extremely invaluable asset to our Self-Employment Training course as one of our most popular volunteer speakers. Her presentations on the topic of Radio advertising and promotion have always been of superb quality. She has a zest and charisma that is hard to match, and a remarkable capacity for truly engaging her audience…every single one of them! Our clients repeatedly rave about her and our instructors consistently request to have her back each semester. She exhibits dynamic presentation skills, expertise in her subject matter, and the ability share her knowledge at a practical and easily applicable level. All of this combines to make her both a natural teacher and a motivational speaker
