MEDIA TRAINING AT YOUR OFFICES

All our training, coaching and consultancy is lead by experts in their field. Media Training sessions will always be lead by an experienced journalist who is also skilled at coaching. One on one sessions will usually just be with one journalist. A senior content producer will join sessions with two or more, to record audio and film.

All we need is:

• A meeting room – the roomier and brighter the better
• TV monitor with a physical HDMI input connection (not wireless dongle) 
• Flip chart and pens – nice although not essential

You should treat the training session as any other meeting. We use the smallest and most compact recording equipment possible. No big lights, no big cameras, no cables and no big tripods. The only equipment we bring is a mini iPad, MacBook Air, mini wireless microphones and the latest and smallest broadcast quality camera (which can be handheld). Everything is fully charged and there is no need to plug anything into an electrical socket. This means there is nothing to trip over, no PAT testing requirements or special liability insurance needs. The training session can be considered as a normal meeting without the need for further health and safety assessments.

There are no special requirements but we know people often ask, so we would advise smart casual, clothes people feel comfortable and confident wearing. It helps to wear a top (shirt, blouse or jacket) where a microphone can be clipped and best to avoid large jangly necklaces, which may interfere with sound.
