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.

It’s not very often I attend a training session that ticks every box for me. Today’s media training session however, was excellent. One of the most enjoyable and useful days I have had for a long time.

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 was the compere for the ceremony for the Apps for Good Awards, our biggest annual event where we bring together our students, teachers, partners and volunteers. She brought polish and professionalism to the ceremony, as well as enthusiasm and humour. From the start Arti was a pleasure to work with – flexible, thoughtful and thorough, and she provided really useful insights on the ceremony to make it the best possible experience for everyone. She also made an extra effort to meet our students and get to know us as an organisation. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her.

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.

The structure was good (advice, practice, feedback) plus how to do it well/badly. Overall, very enjoyable, pragmatic and very helpful training.

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!).

I had a full day of coaching with Arti and have subsequently found the areas we covered to be extremely useful in my day to day role at Aston Villa. The course was very practical and enjoyable at the same time, and not a moment was wasted. Thoroughly recommended

The training itself was reassuring, informative and engaging. I found myself wanting to do more and more exercises and role plays so as to perfect my TV interviews!! Arti was a fantastic coach and mentor throughout the day and ensured really detailed feedback for us all. I loved her bubbly personality, delivery style and her energy. She pushed us to deal with our discomforts and weaknesses and I am absolutely convinced that we all left yesterday, far richer in confidence, knowledge and awareness than any of us would have expected.

As an international law firm DLA Piper strongly believes it is essential that our people are trained in communication skills such as key messages and delivery techniques. We have used Arti for both small groups and one to one communication and presentation skills sessions. Arti has great experience, is insightful, disarming and pleasurable to work with.

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.
