Testimonials for Expert Women
“I only have positive things to say about the session. I attended a previous media training session and came away feeling slightly disappointed - I was told that controlling the interview was important but was not provided with any tools to help do this. In your session, I loved that there was a tool and an opportunity to practice it.
Sharing the experience with others also made it easier to spot what worked and what was less effective so that I came away with both some things to do to be more effective and some things to avoid.
I really enjoyed the experience and wish you well with rolling this out - we need this training to have the confidence to talk about what we do more effectively.”
Professor Patricia Riddell, School of Psychology, University of Readinghool of Law, Business and Psychology
“Thank you for a really useful and interesting session. Whilst I’ve done media interviews before I think the content of your training really helped me understand the process from the other side as it were, and where my contribution fits. This made it much easier to understand how to craft my message and understand how to get my point across in way that represents my expertise and my standpoint, but also in a way that it accessible to the public and fits with radio and tv production.
Understanding how to get a sound bite was really useful. The set up with mics and recording equipment made it feel much more 'real' and provided a way to practice the skills and use the advice in a way they felt more authentic than other role play activities I've done in the past.“
