An interview with a journalist is not just a conversation; it is a performance. And as the star performer, you need to prepare – if you are to get the results you need.
Media professionals conduct interviews daily, sometimes all day. This is their stock in trade. If you want a successful result, you’ll need to think like a reporter thinks, speak like a reporter writes and deliver the ‘sound bite’ they’ll use.
Strive PR’s consultants and associates are seasoned journos who have been working many years on the front line, researching news stories and putting them together for use in the news media. Many of us continue to work as journalists and editors. We still spend much of our time talking to reliable sources. These are the ones that help us meet tough deadlines by quickly getting to the point and giving a quotable quote.
In our media training workshops, we put this hard-earned experience to work for you. We’ll show you how to set the agenda, control the interview and effectively deliver your message while making sure the journalist has what is needed for a good story.
Strive PR’s workshops give you the essential tools to make every performance accomplished. You’ll learn the ‘Dos and Don’ts’ of a media interview; you’ll perfect Q&A techniques; you’ll polish your whole performance – voice, body and delivery. Strive uses one-on-one coaching or small-group instruction to deliver an interactive, impactful workshop that includes on-camera simulated interviews. You’ll get everything you need to become that reliable source that journalists depend upon.
