TM MEDIA TRAINING
Take charge of an interview and stay in the driver's seat rather than being led off track by a journalist with an agenda. Whether you’re proactively pitching a good news story or managing a PR crisis, you need a strategy. TM Media will give you proven structures to craft your 'quotable' key messages, as well as tactics to deflect tricky questions and get back on topic. Don't get caught like a deer in the headlights. Use the media to your advantage and win. We also offer media spokesperson training.
PUBLIC SPEAKING AND PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING
Public speaking is often cited as people's number one fear. But it doesn't have to be that way. A TM Media presentation skills workshop will give you the tools and tricks to confidently present online or face-to-face, to a small group or a packed stadium. It’s not just what you say but how you say it that speaks volumes. Mastering the art of presenting and story-telling is an essential skill to elevate your career, boost your brand and amplify your cause. We offer bespoke training for small teams or one-on-one coaching.
MEDIA INTERVIEW & PRESENTATION SKILLS FOR ACADEMICS
Share your research and expertise with a wider audience. Learn to explain complex terms in layperson’s language for media interviews, panel discussions and when pitching to editors or investors. Boosting your profile will help you win more grants, attract industry partners, change public perceptions, influence policy-makers, and debunk myths. This course is designed especially for academics by a former university lecturer, journalist, author and presenter.
BUSINESS WRITING
Clear, concise, correct writing at work makes good business sense. Whether you are writing internal documents and reports or marketing content to attract clients and customers, your writing makes an impression on your readers. These writing workshops are not just a refresher on grammar, structure and spelling; you'll also learn to choose the appropriate words and tone to engage, persuade and inform your readers. Get them to take action! No matter what your level of schooling, you can learn to write confidently and convincingly. All TM Media's writing workshops are tailored to your business needs.
CRISIS COMMUNICATION MEDIA TRAINING
A TM MEDIA workshop takes you and your team through a realistic, unfolding PR crisis and equips you with a proven strategy to successfully navigate the choppy seas. We’ll give you a framework for an immediate holding statement and tactics for handling updates and potentially dangerous questions. We'll record your interviews on camera and play them back, to give you constructive feedback to improve your performance.
WRITING & PITCHING MEDIA RELEASES
Did you know that news editors delete more than 80 per cent of the media releases they receive? Discover what makes a media release stand out in the inbox and read. Identify a newsworthy angle and practice writing and pitching your news story to a journalist. Come up with a media strategy and target relevant journalists and producers. Get positive media coverage and boost your visibility. This workshop is perfect for smaller organisations without a comms team or for junior PR specialists wanting to boost their media writing skills.
