In this age, taken over by social media & communication overload, I’d like to recommend the work of Mariam Haddad and The Performance Communication Company.

 

I attended a recent event Electrify Houston, sponsored by the Institute of Hispanic Culture. Ms. Haddad of the Performance Communication Company led a dynamic group of diverse, high-level, C-suite professionals with flawless execution.

 

Mariam was engaging, she led the team keeping them alert and responsive during an entire full day DEI training. Her voice is magical, calming, reassuring yet affirmative.

 

She has a unique gift to express, teach and communicate in the most challenging of circumstances. She was also quite gifted to be able to re-direct energies and synergies using them proactively.

It’s been a great experience working alongside Mariam.

 

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with her setting up the first DEI+ESG Forum in Houston sponsored by several organizations and The Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston.

 

Her ability to organize a program with such high-quality content and the speaker lineup was unparalleled, it speaks to her vision and networking ability.

 

It’s been a great experience working along her side. Looking forward to furthering collaborations!

Carmen Herrada,
ESG & DEI Leader

I have had the great delight to work with Mariam on building the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council for the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston. Her leadership capabilities, DEI expertise, creativity and communication have been critical in helping us to get our foundational program together.


Her vision, capabilities to connect the dots creatively and the ability to speak innovation into existence from nothing is incredible.
She has become a proven, and trusted, resource who can be counted on to inspire change, draw in hearts and minds to achieve purpose. This is supported by her formidable strategic communication skills.


I highly recommend her as a leader who can inspire important change on the DEI and Change Management scene as well as in an executive communications capacity.

We Are Delighted with the Outcome!

"I had the pleasure of working The Performance Communication Company recently. We engaged their services during an important sales pursuit to help our highly technical team prepare for the oral presentation to the customer. The Performance Communication Company consultants helped our team refine key messaging, polish individual presentation skills and enabled the talented individuals to function as a cohesive team. We were successful in our sales pursuit and the lessons our team learned from their consultants will carry forward in our organization. We are delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend The Performance Communication Company to other firms.

An Invaluable Resource for Myself and My Company

Performance English helped myself and my employees work together to establish a better, clearer sense of our company purpose, vision and mission. Equipped with communication tools that Mariam and Peter provided over the course of multiple sessions, my team was better able to present their thoughts and goals. This in turn helped us to work together to create clear objectives that were important to all of us and implement strategy that would drive the growth of the business. Performance English was an invaluable resource for myself and my company.
 
Daria Westerfield, President and Owner, West University Travel 

Impressed by Both Her Teaching and By Her Knowledge

“I did not know how to modify my presentation for an audience from China and that unknown manifested itself in an overall uncertainty that damaged my delivery.  Mariam quickly taught me how to clarify and link my message into a narrative and to deliver it in a culturally sensitive way. Best of all - these tips will make all my presentations stronger. I am impressed both by her teaching and by her knowledge of matters that are specific to particular listeners.” 
 
Jim Jewitt, CEO at Metal Oxide Technologies

A Great Resource that will Positively Add to Your Corporate Bottom Line...

Performance English, now called The Performance Communication Company, has conducted several very successful training programs for my company and is someone that I would without any reservation recommend to all if you are looking to improve corporate communications, successful presentations, business communications and strategy. Mariam can and does daily provide valuable insight and guidance to c-level executives to all managers throughout an organization. A great resource that will positively add to your corporate bottom line.

I Left Inspired, Focused & Motivated!

Mariam Haddad, Founder of Performance- English (now called The Performance Communication Company), is exceptionally talented at helping professionals like me improve their communication skills. Through a series of questions, she quickly identified the gaps that prevented me from being my best when talking to others. Within the hour, she crafted a spot-on strategic vision, laid out the building blocks and rationale, and assigned me three key exercises that would solve the biggest challenge I was facing. I left inspired, focused and motivated. I enthusiastically recommend Mariam Haddad for anyone needing to improve their communication skills. Mariam is a marvel and a maestro. Bravo!!

...a TREMENDOUS Benefit Within the First Few Months!

“I have worked with Mariam since early 2012. I received a tremendous benefit within the first few months! She helped me realize quickly how certain communication habits were getting in my way of an effective discussion. Through all this time working with her, she has reshaped my approach to certain conversations in order to focus on what is most important. We have moved through different communication levels and anticipate continuing to work with her in the years to come.” 
 
Gabriela Garcia, CAO, Rayonier Advanced Materials

Performance English has Made Such an Impact on My Life

About a year ago, I started a new role in sales. This was a bit scary because I've never been in this type of position before and knew that I needed to grow my communication skills. Having worked with Mariam several years ago as part of a group for coaching on presentation skills, I knew it was critical to my success to have her one-on-one guidance. Mariam has a true gift that I have been blessed to experience! I now excel in having difficult conversations, having conversations with executive-level individuals, email communication, and overall strategy. I feel that anyone can benefit from working with Mariam as she taps into your strengths and weaknesses to grow your communication and overcome any fears and boundaries. I look forward to working with her throughout my career and highly recommend her to contribute to your success!

...made a BIG Difference in the Success of Our Program.

“I write this recommendation as the Commercial Attaché of Turkish Consulate in Houston. I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Haddad during the Turkish Businesswomen Delegation visit to Houston in October 2016. Her participation as a speaker at the luncheon organized for our delegation made a big difference in the success of the program. Due to her positive energy and encouragement, ice between Turkish and American participants melted right away and in fact Turkish delegation indicated that the meetings they had at that luncheon was the most fruitful ones.  I also had the chance to attend her classes of "Say It With Power", "Masterful Delivery" and "Great Ideas Powerfully Presented". She is an excellent teacher and a wonderful friend who would lighten up your life and help you see yourself in different perspective. Last but not least, she is also an excellent coach who would help you realize your goals in life through assisting you define your strengths, weaknesses and also your message to the world.”
