Jess Todtfeld, Best-Selling Author
Former National TV Producer & Senior Instructor

Speaking to the media is a much different skill than any other type of public speaking. The media can slice and dice anything you say. So, how do you gain CONTROL during an interview and get the exact messages you want in the piece? We have specific systems to teach proper body language, messaging, answer techniques, and sound bite creation. These techniques can be used for TV, Print, Radio, and New Media.

This 2-day workshop will not be your boring, traditional lecture. This interactive program consists of real world video examples of techniques you can put into action right away. In fact, you won't just practice these techniques once or twice. We'll have you practicing the techniques a minimum of 8 times each day. That means 16 times practicing the techniques combined with critique and analysis. Our setting is a safe-zone where it's ok to make mistakes. The goal after each practice? Do more of what you like, eliminate more of what doesn't work. Practicing should never be done in real media situations. This is the perfect place to learn a new set of skills.
Do you know what you have in common with Tiger Woods,
 Meryl Streep, President Ronald Reagan,
 and President Barack Obama?

They all work with experts in their field to practice and rehearse.

How do we judge our workshops? It's not by how much you love your instructor when you leave, it's not by how well your lighting was on camera, and it's not by you leaving with just an intellectual idea of what you should do during interviews. When attendees see themselves improving with each mock interview and walk out saying "Wow. I know I can do this after today because I saw myself using the techniques," that is how we know real change has taken place.

 The Media Training Workshop

Your time is valuable. Most people waste large blocks of time practicing the wrong way. Others don't know how to quickly and effectively rehearse so the first time they practice is in the actual media situation. They essentially allow their "first draft" of their interview to be the one they share with the world. We don't know about you, but our first drafts are never perfect. If speaking to the media is part of your marketing or advertising strategy, would you ever allow a first draft of your marketing and advertising messages to go to the world? Would it be worth it to know now to quickly and easily shape those messages? How about having the techniques to field any question? Would it be a valuable skill if you could dramatically increase your chances of getting the exact answer you want into media stories? This is what we do for our clients. This is what has made us the best in the world. Our clients, which include CEOs, CFOs, U.N. officials, that's just a piece of what we'll do when we work with you.

We provide customized training for each attendee so that they are well-equipped to handle ANY media situation. This interactive program consists of real world video examples of techniques you can put into action right away. We'll have you practicing the techniques a minimum of 8 times each day, combined with critique and analysis. We say the process is like riding a bicycle. If we didn't get you up on the bicycle multiple times, you'd fall down. Since we get you on camera a minimum of 8 times practicing, you actually walk away with a new set of skills. The goal after each practice? Do more of what you like, eliminate more of what doesn't work. It's that simple.

You will develop your own strengths

Once you learn the basics of speaking, your body and mind will be more comfortable with the whole media process. Your tensions associated with upcoming interviews will gradually melt away. Over time, you will learn to be an effective communicator and may actually enjoy every media opportunity because you have a clear sense of goals, and the tools to see them through.
