Malarie Gokey

“Self promotion is challenging and finding a framework to do that well has to be learned. I really appreciate the conversation, the topic along with the tips and advice given.”

“I liked the participatory element where we practiced sharing our self-promo stories with each other and then reflected on it. I liked that Malarie gave us a formula for doing this and some really simple helpful guidelines. I liked that this was framed as storytelling!”

“I liked Malarie’s attitude and demeanor, she made it easy to talk and eased the awkwardness that sometimes comes with virtual events. I liked the structure and the deck, it was a good pace for note-taking. The breakout groups were also helpful, being put on the spot about my accomplishments made me realize how much I need to practice my story!”

“I liked the different examples and strategies that Malarie shared with us, as well as how everyone was encouraged to participate and practice during the meeting.”

“I learned how to effectively create agendas for meetings and how to clean up my meeting schedule on a regular basis. I also enjoyed how Malarie conducted the training in a fun and engaging way, and encouraged us to share our own experiences or thoughts.”

“I liked the simple and straightforward advice. very actionable and easy to enforce. 15-minute huddle was a great suggestion. I also liked the calendar audit advice.”

“I found the slides on breaking down long-term projects into tiny, doable tasks super helpful. That structure allowed me to think of some of my long-term tasks. It was also helpful to hear what other people in the newsroom struggle with regards to time management — it made me feel less alone in my struggles.”

“The information and slides were clear. There were step by steps on how to do it so I could easily do it in my own time. The meeting materials were resent in a timely manner.”
