“Barbara has worked wonders with many of my clients, including A-list movie and television stars. After her intensive media training, celebrities are more cognizant that every word matters, and that effective communication skills are vitally important components of today’s marketing campaigns.”
We live in a world of round-the-clock information and communication. When the media comes calling, you need to be ready. When reporters ask tough questions, you need to respond efficiently and effectively. When you want to communicate your message, you need to do so concisely, precisely and confidently.
Laskin Media’s Media Training Workshops are based upon the first-hand media experience and know-how of our Award-winning founder. We understand the needs and demands of news reporters, because we were news reporters ourselves. Our workshops are highly personalized, comprehensive, and interactive. They are designed around one key concept: to teach people how to communicate effectively in the media.
Workshop participants learn how reporters’ think, what they’re really looking for in a story, how to control an interview without sounding canned, how to handle hostility and controversy and what techniques are needed in order to cut to the chase and get their message across quickly and persuasively.
Our role-playing and on-camera sessions mirror real-life situations. Most importantly, our workshops are comfortable, safe settings in which clients are encouraged to learn and practice new skills, to take chances while dramatically increasing their self-confidence and ability to communicate in public.
