Networking

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Merri on several occasions which led me to formally engage her talents. Merri's focus is highly specialized in helping niche business leaders enhance their speaking and networking skills. Her goal is to create a speaking platform for motivated and thoughtful attorneys, helping them reframe their attitude about themselves so they present their power, whether within the firm, outside in the community or in the courtroom. This personal development is invaluable for attorneys at any career stage and for any business development focused industry. Bringing her in-house has produced much positive change!

Merri helps people individually, and in groups, overcome barriers to communication by removing their fears and inhibitions and empowering them. Her theater background allows her to teach others to prepare with confidence, and present with mastery.

The most difficult part about writing this recommendation about Merri Bame is only getting to choose 3 attributes that best describe her. The easiest part is to say that the legal professionals who attended her series here at the CBA gave her the highest ratings, and to add that she was a dream to work with making my job easy...and fun.

I had the good fortune to hear Merri speak at a networking event recently. Her topic was Master Minding Your Own Business. Merri is such a good speaker because she does everything right! With her body language, vocal variety, activities and audience interaction she had everyone engaged the entire time. Her passion for the subject was evident and having been part of a mastermind group for years she practices what she preaches. As a communications coach she can help you gain the same kind of engagement from your audiences.

I have had the opportunity to work with Merri in a customer engagement where she provided advice and assistance with a local management team preparing for an executive visit from corporate. She clearly showed the the fire, knowledge, personal experience and drive that helped the team define, refine and make their presentation skills work with their personal style.

Merri does a fantastic job facilitating a "Master Mind" group of which I have been involved for several months. She is very knowledgeable and, more importanly, creative in the way she handles matters. Progress in monitored on a monthly basis and Merri provides great insite to a variety of topics directly related to business. Merri's approach to "breaking down barriers" is different and quite effective. I highly recommend Merri's services.

Merri is very good at finding the communication problem that happens in all business offices.

Merri's coaching has helped me communicate with both clients and employees. She understands the role of a business owner, and the importance of clear communication.
I highly recomend Merri to business owners.

I have been working with Merri for approximately 1 year. A value of high integrity is the reason why I chose to work with her.

I was struggling with communication in both personal and business. Within a few weeks, I saw a difference as to the way I was interacting with the most important people in my life. Working with Merri has been a great adventure! One full of integrity and fun!

My relationship with Merri goes back to my Jr. High days. Merri is a great communicator, both in speaking and in listening. She is very patient and really listens to your concerns/problems. She does what she can to recommend a solution and assist you in working towards that goal.
