“Mary Anne Dorward was the most important guide of my campaign. She not only guided me, she also really helped coach our other nine Mongolian female candidates. I personally really enjoyed her coaching on how to target and develop my message. Mary Anne gave us all very precise and direct guidance on targeting our message and how to deliver it, speaking and listening skills, acting and being in a way that enables a community to effectively meet the challenges they face. Working with Mary Anne was the most valuable five hours we spent in the United States of America. The eight sheets of notes we have from her were the very most important information we received in the US and all nine delegates still keep the notes we took from her with us today. After her coaching, I felt that I could recognize, acknowledge and give up an automatic "way of being" in favor of a new "way of being." Now I feel I am making something new possible in my country of Mongolia. In addition to her talent as a political consultant, we all really enjoyed Mary Anne as a person. I look forward to working with Mary Anne in many campaigns in my country of Mongolia for years to come.”
Mongolia Battsetseg Shagdar Parliamentary Candidate“I have always respected and admired Mary Anne Dorward's talent and the quality of work that she produces. More then anyone else, Mary Anne takes so much pride in her work that I can always rely on getting the best work product ever.
“If you think you are an ok speaker, Mary Anne Dorward can make you better. If you think you are good, Mary Anne can make you great. And if you already think you are a great speaker, Mary Anne Dorward can make you stellar. As far as I am concerned, Mary Anne Dorward is a miracle worker.”
FDR Services Tom Hujar CEO“Mary Anne Dorward was THE VOICE of my winning campaign. She also wrote and produced all my radio spots. Not only that, she also coached me personally. I had no idea how wooden I sounded until she got a hold of me. Thanks to her, both my radio campaign and I sounded great and we won the race! She's brilliant!”
Washington State Brad Owen Lt. Governor“Mary Anne has been a godsend in the quick-turnaround world of political advertising. She’s savvy, enthusiastic and works equally well both on- and off-camera.”
Rick Sullivan Productions, Washington Rick Sullivan President“Thank you Mary Anne. You made a massive difference in my performance yesterday in the televised Senate race debates. You found within me the confidence I needed. Your advice was spot-on. You are so gifted with "emotional intelligence" and insight. We needed your skills so badly and I am so happy we hired you! You were well worth your fee. I had less than a week to prepare, and you allowed me to make a month's worth of progress. You and I have struck a blow for Justice and Liberty. Congratulations and thank you again.”
US Senate Bruce Guthrie Candidate“The atmosphere at my speech was as difficult, challenging and as bloody as we expected. But I have my self-esteem and my self respect intact and that I owe to you. I could not have done this without you.”
Kitsap County Patty Lent former Commissioner“Mary Anne joined our team of campaign strategists about two to three weeks into the campaign. She brought a wealth of knowledge and a flair for words that was missing from our literature. She was very accessible to our team, meeting with us weekly. She quickly transformed our rough ideas into streamlined letters and printed campaign material that was of immeasurable benefit to our campaign. She brought a high level of professionalism to the table not only in her written words, but also in her cheerful attitude. Although she was dealing with novices in the campaign world she was never condescending, but rather helpful in sharing her wisdom from previous campaigns.”
