How to deliver impactful media interviews

If the media calls you for an interview- would you feel confident that you knew what you were doing? In an age of rolling news, and digital media- you could get called upon for a TV/radio/youtube/podcast interview at any time. A media interview can expose you to hundreds of thousands of people in one go and is great opportunity to get your name out there and build your credibility and reach new clients.

In my media interview coaching and masterclasses I show you how to deliver engaging and memorable interviews that are bespoke to your specific business/organisation so that you represent yourself and your business/organisation/service in the best light.

“It is always a risk to speak to the press: they are likely to report what you say.”

Hubert H. Humphrey
