Coaching for media appearances

When you speak to the media, you only have a few minutes to shine. Here’s how to make the most of them. Read the tips in these articles to help you succeed in front of a camera and microphone. Choose professional coaching to help you prepare for upcoming media appearances so that you and your message connect with your audience.

Overview

You can’t talk about something you don’t feel.

William Shakespeare

Make Your Media Appearance a Success

Media opportunities often arise quickly and unexpectedly. A journalist asks for your opinion on a topic you know well, with questions you can easily answer. But once you’re in front of the camera or live in the studio, adrenaline kicks in—and not in a pleasant way. Concentration wavers, answers feel out of reach, and navigating the moment becomes increasingly challenging.

High-pressure scenarios like this can arise in an instant. Can you handle microphones, cameras, bright lights, and probing questions—whether live or recorded? Are you confident you can respond effectively, or do you risk drawing a blank and freezing under pressure?

Even the best public speakers have faced these moments. But since your credibility and message are on the line, it’s essential to rise above. To leave a lasting impression, you need to:

• Formulate clear, concise statements.
• Maintain a confident and convincing presence.
• Handle tough or irrelevant questions with ease.
