media training course
You may be an accomplished presenter, yet dealing with the media is often intimidating and frightening. Being interviewed by a professional not knowing what they are going to ask creates a huge amount of anxiety, compounded that the interview may be further edited and broadcast to millions. This is a perfectly rational fear and one with the correct training can be alleviated.
Our media training courses focus on:
1. Types of media interviews, and how the way you answer should be different.
2. What you should never do when a journalist rings up
3. How to prepare for an interview, and how you can make the journalist work for your benefit
4. How to answer difficult questions, and what to say when you don't have an answer
5. Dealing with a crisis
6. Analysing your performance on film, looking at your bodylanguage and vocality.
Mostly media training is done on a 1-1 basis or in small groups to get the maximum amount of feedback. We bring along our own high definition cameras, and lighting (if required) to simulate a real live interview environment. Delegates will be asked to prepare and present a number of scenarios which will be taped, analysed and feedback given with the option of being further interviewed by independent journalists to practice and familiarise yourself with the media scenario.
Our new book on why presentations fail
Why do over 80% of business presentations fail? this new book takes an insightful look at why we have to endure so many dreary presentations.
