Gain the skills to keep your cool, stay on message and produce the winning sound bite that brings the right exposure.
Whether you need to set the record straight or create awareness for your business, the key to coming out on top is rigorous preparation in a convincingly realistic environment. Our coaches put you in the hot seat to prepare you for taped interviews, live broadcasts or other media events where thinking on your feet, relaxed confidence and a focused message counts. You learn by doing—on camera—by being grilled and roasted (and sometimes indulged) by our working journalists and actors who know the media business inside and out.
The benefit: you’ll walk away with your substance tested, your communication skills sharpened and your confidence soaring for the moment you’re up against experienced journalists and network-level camera crews with a prime-time agenda.
