During the virtual Media Coaching session, participants will receive personalized training using likely scenarios to prepare them to speak to the media with feedback to improve their skills. The goal of this session is to enable participants to pitch their story to the media and communicate confidently with stakeholders, with these key outcomes:
- Develop key messaging in order to speak confidently.
- Develop an action plan that works for a range of media outlets: TV interviews, newspaper reporters and more.
- Stay ahead of your competitors and be an industry leader by learning to assess, monitor and measure media content.
- Ask the questions the media are likely to ask and test you on the ones that are unexpected and challenging, including reactive response preparation.
