Giving You The Power To Say What You Want To Say And To Say It Well

This is the world of the soundbite, the app, the tweet, the word cloud. It’s a world of 24-hour rolling news... of vox pops, webcasts and video clips. In business today, you are expected to be able to communicate quickly and simply:
» to hit the right note   » to come across well   » to create memory

Whether it’s talking via broadcast or narrowcast TV, on radio, to the press, or presenting to an audience – live or virtual – the right preparation gives you the power to say what you want to say and to say it well.

Clients ask Alex for training because...

  •  “we want to raise our profile in the media – we’ve found our business prospects in China are hugely improved if we’ve been quoted in the press”
  •  “we have developed great marketing slides for everyone and now we want to know that those who are presenting and pitching can use the new Powerpoint presentation well”
  •  “we’ve been asked to field someone for CNBC live on Thursday”

Clients value training with Alex because...

“the fact that Alex has clearly done her preparation and asks excellent questions which really put you on the spot and test you, is brilliant preparation. She also gave me the confidence that I needed to go on to do
five broadcast interviews in 36 hours”

Alex says...

“I’ve worked in television presenting live, recorded and Business TV from ITN, Channel 4 News and Pinewood Studios over the past twenty years.

Training and teaching has been a great part of that. Audiences want TV, radio or print interviewees to do their best. When you give a speech, or make a pitch, those audiences also want you to do it well. The skill of creating memory in your audience – saying what you want to say and saying it well – can be learnt.”
