What to expect
This combined course is in two sessions.
We start with the media training. You learn how to prepare your key messages and how to take control of media interviews. You will then take part in a series of practical media interviews. We cover print, radio, and television interviews. Each media interview is recorded and played back for analysis.
We show you how to apply these media skills when delivering presentations, whether you present at a large conference or pitch ideas to clients and colleagues. You will learn techniques to help you speak with impact, assurance, and empathy.
Whether you are presenting at an event, addressing a board meeting, or handling the sales team, this course will give you the skills to communicate your messages and achieve your objectives.
