MEDIA TRAINING
Ugly Headlines Happen
Relax. Let those ugly headlines happen to somebody else.
Whether it's the "gotcha" moments or the tamer ones, in our media training sessions, we’ve got you covered for all the media
possibilities: print, social media, broadcast, radio, or the dreaded ambush.
As former journalists, we understand the tricks, tips and best practices for telling a powerful story and juggling the ugly questions.
We offer a number of different media training options to accommodate a variety of needs: from 101 media training workshops for
small and large groups, to advanced one-on-one executive media coaching for CEO’s, CFO’s and other residents of the
executive suite.
Good-bye Cookie-Cutter Media Training
We don’t do cookie-cutter. We do not recycle generic content that won't help you one bit when you're in the line of fire.
Each media coaching session is made-to-order and individualized. You practice with your content and your tough questions tailored
to your challenges. We research your company, industry and issues so we can help you with strategy, technique and the quality of
your responses. And we always include intense on-camera role play with practice interviews. You get instant feedback as you see,
hear and analyze your performance.
