This course has given me the confidence to approach the media in a more positive way. Really understanding how to get the best out of difficult situations and ensuring branding and media are a really integral part of daily organisational life.

All of my colleagues found the training extremely valuable and are now much better equipped to both handle media interviews and respond to any sensitive press issues that may arise in the future.

It was a great pleasure to work with you recently. The art of communication is clearly an essential tool for any business – and it is more than just words. Thank you for your superb ability to advise on content, delivery and presentation, and to instil the communications skills required for an effective public appearance. The speech was a great success, very well received by our audience at our important launch event. We were delighted that you were able to help us achieve this in just a few hours, clearly reflecting your fantastic experience and communications skills. Now that we know how valuable these are, we look forward to an ongoing working relationship.

Arti is an inspirational coach. Her combination of knowledge and enthusiasm makes the training both effective and enjoyable. The training is pitched carefully to be appropriate for the audience but pushes you beyond your comfort zone. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Arti to others who want to improve their media handling skills.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I was apprehensive beforehand but found the training extremely useful and interactive. I feel a lot more confident now if I need to speak to the media (old or new!).

Arti has addressed both of my Vistage CEOs/business leaders groups. Her session on Reputation was very interesting and hugely helpful. We were reminded how making small mistakes can have massive and very expensive consequences for businesses. Arti’s recent virtual session was very insightful, as it addressed how reputation is now more important and more sensitive than ever. We left better performed and entertained: never a dull moment.

The media training programme I attended was excellent, balancing the theory behind good communications with the opportunity to do interviews to camera and receive immediate feedback. I came away feeling much more confident about my ability to handle interactions with the media.

Arti made me feel at ease immediately and shared some vital tips that I was able to utilise in the interviews that we filmed on the media training day and that I can now use in other presentation situations… I am delighted with the outcome and, most importantly, our professional associates and clients have given me excellent feedback about the interview. It has achieved the objective of giving a great overview of my company’s service proposition and ethos and contributed to an increase in business from new clients.

I found the Effective Communication Course really useful, especially the language section. The techniques highlighted will prove to be invaluable to me when presenting and pitching for new work. Thanks Arti for being so enthusiastic and helping me realise my true potential. An excellent course that I would recommend over and over again.

Thanks so much for the media training sessions you held for us. We’ve already had lots of good feedback from those that attended – even those that were sceptical at first – and people are already starting to apply the learning, which is fantastic. I have attended many media training sessions in the past, which have largely been based on theoretical learning, and I’ve got to say the hands-on learning approach you use has been much more effective in building the confidence and capability of our spokespeople.
