Downtime? Use the lull to come back bigger and better.
How are your communication skills? How are your presentation skills? How are your media skills? Even if you think you’ll never speak to the media, everyone needs communication skills, right? You talk to colleagues, partners, clients, potential clients, team-members and even competitors. And, as we’re now using Teams/zoom more than ever – we also need to know how to look our best on a webcam. Plus how to pitch our messages right for each audience, with subtle changes in angle, emphasis or content. On a zoom call, just as in face-to-face encounters, posture and body language count! Lighting counts! Your background, clothes, tone and pace count – the list goes on.
To learn how to get all of these elements right, book one of my media training sessions – or presentation training sessions – held virtually or in person, at your office or workspace. All sessions are bespoke, depending on what you need, but I cover:
What is news? What do journalists want?
Preparing for your interview – your objectives, proof points
Role play – press/radio/TV interviews, playback + feedback
Remote calls techniques, playback + feedback
Logistics of interviews – where, when, how
What are you going to say? Your Business Objectives, Key Messages. Who’s the audience?
How do I look and sound? Body language, tone, pitch, techniques for broadcast
Distracting looks, check your background, what to wear
Different types of interview
How to answer difficult questions – the ABC technique
Topping and tailing your message
Learn from the best, and worst – we watch videos and critique
“60 seconds of passion!”
So get in touch! I have previously trained people from many different organisations and countries, including government departments, military and corporate clients, both in groups and individually.
