Online interviews have become ‘the new normal’ during the Covid-19 pandemic and the need to communicate clearly and effectively is greater than ever.


This expert training has been devised to equip you with the skills to perform at your best. How to devise key messages, how to communicate them well, including a focus on the particular considerations of an online interview situation.


It’s not all about the traditional media these days, though. Good interview technique will also serve you well in a range of modern communications settings, from a guest slot on a podcast to a piece of short video content.


The content we cover:

  • How to plan and practice the perfect key messages - the single most important thing you can do to make the most of an interview situation

  • Practical techniques for dealing with difficult or challenging questions

  • Demystifying the media interview situation - understanding different types of media interviews and how they work, so you know what to expect and feel more relaxed in the interview setting

  • How to use good media interview technique in a range of modern communications settings, from a guest slot on a podcast to creating your own video content
