We blog weekly about training and communications. If our posts strike a chord of elephantine proportions, do comment – we love a good conversation.
“It’s too early to say!” That’s what every pundit in the early hours of the general election should have said when asked to predict the outcome of the vote. But each ducked and dived when one of our media training golden rules was at hand all the time.
I voted for the only election candidate I met. Why? Three things: he introduced himself with a warm handshake; he had good eye contact; he listened to my points – then answered them. It’s the right way to make a first impression.
When co-presenting with colleagues, you have to underline rather than undermine their message. Simply look at them when they’re speaking – rather than the audience. With that, you’re saying their message is important.
Some media trainers knock you down…and leave you down. Our media coaches show you how to deal with each knock…and still win through. So you have the presentation skills to perform – with confidence.
