After a 35-year career in Communications, I decided to put my experiences into a handbook which I’m proud to introduce: ‘Public Speaking – Presentations - Media Interviews – Helping you Succeed’, launching this April.

I spent my childhood as a ballet rat at the Budapest Opera House, came to Canada with my mother after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In 1969 I got my Journalism degree from Ryerson and went to work for CBC Television. Starting as a script assistant, then researcher, then story editor and finally producer. My first job in PR was in Hong Kong, at the beautiful Mandarin Hotel, doing publicity for visiting Heads of State and celebrities.

Back in Toronto I started the Gabor Group. In 1981, it was the first Canadian company to offer Media Training and Presentation Skills as its key service. During the last 35 years, the Gabor Group grew to become a full service communications company. I enjoy my work and feel fortunate that I get paid for doing what I like to do.
