Thanks for clicking onto my website – I hope you enjoy your cuppa!
While you’re sipping away, I guess I’d better explain why I contacted you in the first place. I do media training workshops for the public sector with individuals, senior leadership, press and comms teams, in fact anyone who could benefit from my skills and experience from working at the BBC.
The aim is to ensure that organisations like yours get your messaging spot-on in a clear, authoritative and professional way (and without having to pay extortionate London prices for the privilege!).
Too often on tv, radio and online we see spokespeople (including some highly experienced politicians) struggle to handle the media and get their message across in a convincing way.
Indeed, too many organisations hide under the ‘no comment’ banner when there’s a breakout of negative publicity, making them appear to the ordinary person as if they have something to hide.
Some people don’t realise that in the real world, burying your head in the sand when there’s a media storm achieves nothing for your brand reputation and often makes matters much worse.
The good news is that with the right training there is no reason why your spokesperson/people shouldn’t come across as first-class communicators and representatives of your brand regardless of the context.
“It can take years to build a successful brand and just a few seconds to destroy it“
Yes, it’s a cliché but it’s true.
Mickord.com can help you avoid the media pitfalls and booby traps so that you respond effectively under pressure when a reporter comes knocking at your door.
My intensive media training workshops are designed to take you or your team way out of your comfort zone and support you so that you have the knowledge and tools to prepare for and execute a successful interview and protect your brand.
At Mickord.com we conduct our media training in person at our offices or yours or online via Zoom, weekdays or weekends – at your convenience – and definitely NOT at London rates!
