‘Great training, great people and great results’

Mike Hannigan, Director, Coworkinn

Could you use some media training?

Do you and your colleagues need help:

• Preparing for an upcoming talk, presentation, or media interview?
• Publicising an event or research finding?
• Getting your point of view across in a public debate?

Whatever your need, we can help, with communications coaching, training  and advice.   But don’t just take our word for it:-

‘Hugely informative …  I really couldn’t have asked for more out of the training and it was very reasonably priced!’

Linda Kelly, project officer, Association for Higher Education Access & Disability (AHEAD)

Communications workshops, one-to-one coaching

We can help you to identify and clarify your message, and tell your story.  Our regular media workshops are always popular.  These intensive, practical and enjoyable sessions are a very cost-effective way of acquiring new confidence and new skills.   We also provide customised training on site for teams, and one-to-one coaching.  Book now!

Our two most popular training sessions are:

• How to get your message across: learn to identify and clarify your message, and practise conveying it quickly and effectively in a live radio interview  (half-day).
• How to hit the headlines: Learn how to make news for all the right reasons, with a workshop that will teach you about news, and how to create an effective press release and media campaign (half-day).   Full details of our regular media skills training are here.

HOW: Each participant takes part in  practical exercises designed around their pre-prepared press release or briefing; all participants share in a common feedback session, learning from each other’s experience.  Fees include all handouts, newspapers, and (for the interview sessions) a copy of their recorded interviews.

This communications training is perfect for: Anyone who wants to encourage the media to cover their work.  Anyone wanting or needing to deal with the media. Anyone whose name appears in a press release.
