Media Skills - Online Reviews

It was a great course and packed a lot in to half a day.

Nice blend of theory and some practice too. I think it was about right timing wise for our small group. Not sure we needed the first break before Crisis messaging. Facilitators were very good. Knowledgeable, interested in us and kind in their critique. Thank you.

Thanks Paul! Super practical session.

Very helpful and enables us to now put together a crisis comms plan.

Really enjoyed it and a great tutor. Would recommend!

Susan was an excellent facilitator, I learned a lot and it has already made a difference to my confidence with all of her hints and tips and encouragement. Biggest stand out learnings for me were. 1. Saying your most important point first (rather than long build up) 2. Get a specific example in early. 3. How to divert back to your own key message with the ABC technique.

It was a really good day and thanks to Susan for being very knowledgeable and helpful.

Thank you. You've really helped

Overall, this was a very useful experience, which will help me to make the most of media opportunities in future.

My confidence in media interviews before and after taking this course is like "night and day", so stark is the difference. I would certainly make time in a schedule to take this course - even if one is not planning to be interviewed, opportunistic journalists cold-calling me via telephone has been something of a minefield in my past, and this course has really turned the tables on how I would handle such events in future. Genuinely excellent.
