Media Training
Getting media exposure begins with getting booked for an interview. But unless you’re prepared to do a great job, that opportunity may not only be wasted, it may hurt your cause.

Learn the secrets to dealing effectively with print, radio and television media. Whether you’re a seasoned spokesperson who needs a “refresher” course in dealing with the media, or you’re being interviewed for the first time, I can help. Developing your interview skills will strengthen the delivery of your organization’s important messages and give you the confidence and ability to deliver. I offer media trainings for:

Fortune 500 companies seeking to train company spokespeople
Small to medium-sized business owners interested in delivering newsworthy messages related to expertise, products or services
PR Agencies and Law Firms preparing clients for media interviews
Entrepreneurs, authors, experts or any individual whose communication strategies involve speaking with the media
Training includes:

Preparation of your training and review of your materials
Three-hour one on one session including presentation, videotaping mock interviews and messaging review; four-hour session for groups of up to four people
Written feedback and digital delivery of your mock interviews straight to your e-mail inbox
Clients can choose to have media trainings conducted on site, or at a location in downtown Austin, TX; for additional fees, I am available to travel to your city.
