TRAINING FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONERS

Interviews are never a conversation. Done well, they look and sound like a conversation, but they are business communications. In the crowded marketplace, it’s vital that these opportunities are seized to ensure your voice is heard.  


In this one day course you will explore techniques for preparing your spokesperson to deliver effective media interviews, including on broadcast and social media. You will learn how media interviews, if effectively delivered, boost the positive narrative of your organisation by the effective delivery of key messages.  


In this highly interactive course, you will also practise techniques for determining in advance the negative lines of questioning - and preparing your spokesperson to deal with them. 


And in situations where you are under fire, what are the techniques of aggressive interviewers and how should we prepare the spokesperson for them?
