"I found the session extremely useful and practical with immediate application. I wish I'd done it 20 years ago." "Faced with a potentially hostile and challenging press, Jilly prepared me very well for a series of national broadcast interviews. Thanks to the training, I was able to deliver my key messages with conviction, clarity and conciseness." "Jilly was instrumental in giving me the confidence to take my first steps in dealing with the media and subsequently appearing on radio and television, both locally and nationally."David Lammy "Jilly's honest and constructive help taught me some invaluable lessons which have proved very useful on many occasions. Few people in business are natural media performers and I certainly benefited hugely from some straightforward well-directed coaching." "Many thanks for your support in putting together a fantastic media briefing. Both PR colleagues and journalists were enthusiastic about your approach, because it made the disease area of stroke come to life." “I wanted to thank you for a very productive media training refresher course for our team yesterday. We all benefited from the coaching, and will use it in our encounters with the media going forward. An excellent morning’s training!" "Spending an afternoon simulating what a live radio show would actually be like, proved to be helpful on both a practical and "confidence" level. Jilly taught me how to deal with questions intelligently and in a way that suited the key messages I wanted to convey. Additionally, some of the "not so common-sense" suggestions she gave me about etiquette in a radio studio, have helped enormously. From a confidence perspective I now feel like the logistics have been taken care of, and that I can focus on the content." “It was a most useful day, especially being taught about the bridging technique, we will be in touch soon, possibly with one of my other PLCs.” "The tips, and more importantly the practice of them in front of the camera, was extremely useful. For me, the key was: pick three points and get them across, come hell or high water." Bob Plumridge "Jilly’s experience as a TV journalist really helps create a highly realistic environment. The course focuses on taking advantage of the opportunity to get your own message across in a concise way, and how to handle killer questions." "It was a tough and challenging session, but one which prepared us very thoroughly for any potentially hostile situations with the press." "The feedback from all of the participants was fantastic and everyone left the sessions very well armed with tactics for handling the media and with a new found confidence about the positive messages our business has to share." "Many thanks for your help recently in brushing up my interview skills. It gave me a good reminder of the key aspects of dealing with 'hostile' broadcast media - and I have to say it was fun too!" "I would like to thank you again for the wonderful workshop in London last week-end. I feel bound to tell you that I like the way you encourage the participants to dissolve their "fear" of the camera or presenting. You do this with empathy and warmth. Unfortunately after having taken part in your workshops it will not be easy to find a similar Austrian trainer."Christina Thaller "Just wanted to say a big thank you for a great session last week - it was immensely useful, and once we realised you weren't too much of an ogre - a lot of fun!" "The training provided real insight and in particular coached me in the importance of marshalling my messages, supporting them with relevant examples and clear and focused delivery. Many thanks - much enjoyed the session!" |
