Personal impact and presentation, tone, clothing and key message development are the cornerstones of this excellent course. It is an intensely practical event that is tailored to your needs.

Our investment in the latest technology enables us to re-create remote 'live' style TV interviews at your place or ours.

 

This event can be tailored to exactly suit you and can cover interviews for TV, radio and press. The message development process and real life interview practice is invaluable.

 

 

Having your 'lines to take', a quick Google of the coverage, then strapping yourself in for the rollercoaster that can ensue, is risky at best: while "no comment" is not an option.
