Media Training

As specialists in executive-level communications, we understand the complexity of today’s media and political landscape, and the intense pressure senior executives face in increasingly high-stakes situations. Even the most experienced leaders can find it challenging to manage media interactions, where they have one chance to land their messages — with the final headlines outside their control.
With 95% of our clients in life sciences, our experience is both deep and highly specialised. We’ve successfully prepared senior leaders for critical engagements at the UNGA, WHO summits, the WEF, for  live BBC, CNN and NBC interviews, and high-profile interviews with global media such as the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times.
Every media interaction is unique, unpredictable, and demanding – requiring dedicated preparation time and meticulous planning for both the most obvious and the most difficult questions, as well as the unexpected.
Our practical approach is built around targeted media training and strategic messaging, tailored specifically for senior executives. Beyond crafting and finessing messages that connect, we help leaders master delivery, storytelling, manage the mental game, and strategically navigate challenging interactions. Through deliberate planning, scenario mapping, and rigorous practice, we equip executives with both the skills and confidence needed for decisive, impactful communication.

Highly personalised 1:1 coaching to prepare senior leaders for critical interviews, public appearances, investor presentations, and major speaking events. Our coaching focuses on:

  • Strategic story and message target development
  • Mastering bridging, framing, boundary setting, and context management
  • Tailored scenario preparation and realistic rehearsal, including research into journalists and event dynamics
  • Building confidence and resilience through practical, strengths-based development

Intensive, skills-based training for small groups, focused on strengthening spokesperson capabilities across core strategic communication techniques.

  • Tailored, multi-stage preparation for groups of leaders presenting together at major events, such as scientific congresses, or high-profile panels
  • Ensures message discipline, credibility, and cohesive delivery across the leadership team

Do you support leaders in high-stakes conversations —and want to sharpen how you coach them to deliver clear, compelling messages that drive real impact? Do you want to ensure that you support them onsite with interviews in a powerful and constructive way?

Our Train the Trainer course equips you with the theory and coaching techniques you need to guide leaders with confidence, clarity, and influence.
