What others have said about the GCCC Concierge Program

“The GCCC Concierge Program was an extremely positive experience for our entire team. Not only did we gain a deeper understanding of the communication profession, but we also gained the confidence we need to be strategic leaders within our organization. Furthermore, we went from being a group to a team. We learned a lot about each other, including our strengths and opportunities for growth. After this experience, I can rely on my team for support and advice no matter the situation.”

“I cannot say enough about Sia's helpful and coherent approach to what it means to be a communication professional. From the get-go, she focused on teaching the cohort the value of our work and the benefit strategic communication has on the bottom line. Throughout the program, we learned how to measure and calculate that value and how to present it to leadership in business terms. This program empowered me to approach my work as a businessperson first and a strategic communication professional second. I am now more equipped with the knowledge and tools to have more productive and insightful conversations, ask the right questions, and connect my work to business results. The resources we used in the course are fantastic. I was able to apply them at work right away, and I have already noticed positive results from their application.”

“The GCCC Concierge Program with Sia Papageorgiou has been so rewarding. I initially thought it would be a great way to prep for the exam with like-minded professionals. But, after the first meeting with Sia, I knew it was much more than an exam prep course. It’s professional development, networking and a workshop all in one. I was able to apply the session learnings immediately at my day job. The homework helped me think critically about how I was approaching my work and how to align my projects with business needs. Sia provided excellent toolkits that I frequently reference, including how to define the ROI of my role! She is also the ultimate hype woman, always building everyone up in the group. If you are taking the CMP or SCMP, doing this training with Sia is a no-brainer.”

“The resources provided during the GCCC Concierge Program are worth their weight in gold! Before receiving the resources from the facilitator, developing strategic communication was often a daunting task, and I was often ‘measuring’ my success without having an initial goal to work from. Now, I have a template to launch any communication plan and the knowledge I need to ensure that each plan has an impact on the business.”

“Our instructor was incredibly supportive throughout the entire training. Whether there was a question, a wavering of confidence, or situational analysis, she was there to guide us. Furthermore, she was kind enough to offer 1:1 support to anyone who wanted it. The camaraderie and support she provided was like anything I’ve received in professional development programs before. For those and many other reasons, I hold our instructor in the highest regard.”

“I would absolutely recommend the Concierge Program to all communications professionals! As someone who has multiple university degrees in communication, I can honestly say that the Concierge Program has been the most valuable and meaningful learning opportunity I’ve had as a communications professional. The communication courses I took in university never focused on business communications strategy. I’ve never learned about it in any job I’ve had, either. It was only when I started seeking out professional development opportunities that I started understanding what strategy “was.” The full scope of “how” didn’t come until I started the GCCC Concierge Program. It has been a career-altering experience, and I am so grateful to have been part of it!”
