Program Overview

All of my media-training clients want the same things when it comes to dealing with the media.

First, when facing an audience, they would like to come across as comfortable, confident and relaxed (and they'd actually like to feel comfortable, confident and relaxed, too).

Next, they'd like to be able come up with and deliver a clear-cut, simple message; answer questions in a thoughtful manner; and ensure that the exact quotes, or sound bites, they want get into the story. (A sound bite is a bite out of the sounds you are making with your words during an interview that actually ends up on a TV or radio newscast.)

I use the term sound bite and quote interchangeably throughout this course, which is a compilation of insights I've gleaned in more than two decades of trying to help clients accomplish these goals.

Program Features

You will learn:
How to answer any question skillfully
Why there are no stupid questions, but there are bad answers
How to bridge to your message without dodging questions
When to end your answers
How to answer the one question you dread most
