what we offer

  • 1:1 coaching

    If you are looking for something completely integrated and tailored to your specific needs, 1:1 coaching might be the right step for you. We can prepare you for an upcoming podcast, radio or television interview or appearance so you feel confident and in control. We are flexible on location providing in-office or in-studio training. We offer half or full-day sessions. Get in touch to discuss your individual requirements.

  • group learning

    Whether you are a small team or a larger organisation we can teach you on-site or in-studio. We have a friendly, no-nonsense approach to our workshops beginning with our theory and then moving into practical sessions. We will guide you through scenarios tailored to your specific needs in front of the camera or microphone. Our feedback is always honest and constructive. Half or full-day training available.

  • Virtual & aftercare

    Whilst we love to meet you in person, we understand this can sometimes be tricky. So, we offer short online courses too. Maybe your team needs a refresher in dealing with the media, or perhaps you’d like to catch-up before an important interview or appearance. We also like to keep in touch after our sessions, so if you’d like a reminder or extra review after a 1:1 or group learning this can be the perfect way to do it.
