Media Training gives you the confidence to be yourself, so that people grow to know, like and trust YOU. It’s not about selling. It’s not about pitching. It’s about feeling...
Why You Need Media Training
Speaking in public. What's the worst that could happen? Potentially ....everything!
Public speaking (whether it’ s being interviewed, introducing yourself at a networking event or talking on stage) is our number one fear – 75% of people list it as the thing they are most afraid of doing. Even if you enjoy it, and are completely prepared, it’ s still scary!
The lessons you will learn on this course are invaluable tools that will help you in any of these high-pressure environments.
You will learn tips and techniques that will transform your confidence:
- How to cope when the pressure is on.

Why do I keep saying: “If it all goes wrong”? Because these are the most important tips this training offers you.
One thing you can guarantee is that something, at some point, will go pear-shaped! I’ll never forget the one piece of advice that was given to me by a seasoned, senior anchor when we co-hosted for the first time. He told me: “You aren’t paid for when it goes right. You are paid for when it goes wrong.” That useful tip will serve you well, as by the end of this course you will have everything you need to shine, even when things don’t quite go to plan.
My Guarantee
By the end of this course you will be able to come home after being interviewed or giving a talk, and when you're asked: "So how did it go?" you can smile and reply: "Do you know what? I knocked it out of the park..."
