Media Training

Media training shows you how to achieve success with journalists in either a print or broadcast interview situation. Guidance is given on how to come across with confidence, ways to achieve clarity, and how to take control of potentially difficult questions. You are then given the opportunity to take part in a mock recorded interview with the goal of communicating your key messages without becoming embroiled in the journalist’s own agenda. The interview is played back and objectively appraised giving you a greater understanding of what is required to be an effective interviewee. 

Speaker training introduces the key principles of effective communication for those who seek guidance on key-note speeches, PowerPoint presentations, pitching to clients, meetings, studio environments, panel discussions or improving general communication skills. The recording and objective appraisal of your performance within the context of a scenario is a key part of the training. The appraisal allows you to become self-aware and improve your content and performance. 

This is a tailored session for those who require more specific one-on-one communication training. It can include intense media training, crisis media management, or a blend of various aspects of the speaker training session. This session can also be used to help you to develop your personal brand and express it through your overall communication.

Corporate communication is often complicated, verbose and full of jargon. A message refinement session puts you through a thorough set of probing and clarifying questions designed to refine communication down to its simplest spoken message. Once the message is clear and succinct, you learn to layer it with more nuance and subtlety according to the intended audience. This is a very useful session if key messages are unclear, contradictory, or yet to be established.
