"I loved the HYOPR program so much and can't recommend it highly enough. Odette is incredible – I never wanted this program to end. I did the program before I launched my business and found it to be perfect timing because it allowed me to prepare for my launch and feel confident that I could launch with a bang, and get coverage that would set me up way faster than organic growth. The results were huge – the launch of my business basically went viral, all thanks to the HYOPR program and connections I made there."

Velvet Garvey, Train My Mate
"Secretly, I often get bored in online courses after the initial enthusiasm wears off... but this was not the case with Odette's course. She kept the momentum going and left you eagerly anticipating the next instalment. By the end of the course you feel equipped to tackle your own PR and she introduces you to many experts along the way. Highly recommend it!"

Alexandra Power, Open Support
"The results speak for themselves. From my very first pitch I landed a piece on a leading national publication. What I really loved about the course was just how actionable it was. Yes, there was some theory, but really it was ‘this is how you do it’, step by step. It wasn’t overbearing, I really felt that I could do it. You’re taking a risk and having a crack, but I know this formula works. It’s worked for me and it’s worked for hundreds of your participants, so it’s actually not that risky. If you follow the steps and do the work, it’s pretty much guaranteed to work. Media outreach and PR is seriously the best investment in your business if you don’t have squillians in the kitty for paid promotions. There are so many so-called experts out there that trust has never been harder to earn."

Mia Fileman, Campaign Del Mar
"This course is the BEST!!! I have done so many different online courses - however, this one is the absolute best when it comes to PR. Odette's knowledge and connections are so insightful and there is so much to learn - PR will need time and thinking outside the box. It has opened my mind up to what is possible in my business and I am now excited to get stuck into my headlines and content angles. Thank you so much, Odette I couldn't have done this without your course."
