Media Training

The bright lights are on you. The call from the reporter comes to your phone. The TV camera in the waiting room is there to record your responses. A viral YouTube video is telling a story about what happened where you work and you're in charge of the action plan for a response.

At any moment in today's world of rapidly-moving, sometimes without all the facts, media frenzy, you can't afford to wait for a crisis to know how to respond to the media. You must be prepared. In this high-pressure situation, your communication must be nothing less than results delivered: crisp, convincing, and exactly on message.

Our comprehensive media training is structured as a highly-interactive session packed with practical, hands-on tips and techniques that even the most advanced communicators will benefit from. Whether one-on-one or in a group setting, we use dialogue, real world news clips and video, and on-camera instruction, creating a safe 'learning lab' experience that is as entertaining as it is informative. Participants learn the key skills necessary to handle a wide range of print, TV and radio interviews, with an emphasis on confident, effective key message delivery that focuses on advancing and protecting your organization's mission, vision, brand and goals.

We believe:
• Cutting-edge media interview skills can be learned by anyone
• All communications must be strategic and purposeful, message driven, to the point, and tailored to the needs of the audience
• Becoming the best requires practice, practice, practice!

Your session will be custom-tailored to your needs and gauged to your experience, comfort level, and areas of most needed improvement. This is an entirely confidential setting where you will feel comfortable experimenting and stretching outside your perceived boundaries to achieve your very best. We'll be there every step of the way to drive your performance to a higher level at your own pace.

Presenter and Speaker Training

You just sat through another boring presentation, with PowerPoint slides that you couldn't read, and a speaker who droned on about things you'll never remember. And now you're due to deliver yours next week. How can you create and deliver a presentation that inspires, motivates and will be remembered long after you leave the room? One whose impact leaves your audience saying, "Wow, that was really results delivered!"

Our comprehensive presentation training is highly interactive, packed with practical, hands-on tips and techniques that even the most advanced communicators will benefit from.
