Presentation and Media Interview Skills for Professionals
Description
Do you freeze on camera? Struggle to respond to tough questions? Wish you could pitch or present with confidence and authority?
This one-day intensive masterclass will transform how you present, pitch and respond to tough questions under pressure — whether you're speaking at a conference, on a podcast or panel, facing a journalist, or making the case to potential clients, investors and policymakers.
Led by Theresa Miller — former international TV, radio and print journalist, author and experienced media trainer — this is the most practical, personalised communication training you'll find.
Limited to just 6 people. Every participant presents in the morning and is then interviewed on-camera about their specific topic in the afternoon. You'll receive individual, practical and supportive feedback and coaching. You'll also get a password-protected video of your performance, plus a personal written feedback report. And a free copy of Speak Up - how to be a successful presenter and media spokesperson.

"I learned a lot – the structure of answering questions, body language during interviews, delivering your key message and pivoting away from tricky questions. I would 100% recommend this incredibly useful learning experience. I now feel ready and confident for media interviews. Thank you!"
Prof Suraj Sumtami, Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing
"Theresa, I used a lot of what you taught me. I read your pack before my job interview and took a risk and presented a plan to them in my interview and got the job! I wouldn't have done those things without you.
You changed my presenting strategy and gave me the confidence to back myself."
Carley Beever, Senior Retail Manager at Potentia Energy
"If I said it once, I'll say it again -- best training session I've ever been lucky enough to experience!"
