AN interview isn’t just another conversatioN. EVERY WORD MATTERS.”

damon embling, lead trainer

Giving an interview can be a daunting prospect. How do you get across what you want to say? How do you handle those tricky questions?

Our realistic media training workshops, led by experienced and current journalists, equip spokespeople with the skills and confidence to interact with journalists and content-makers through training that focuses on practical learning.

Whether giving interviews is something completely new, or it’s about brushing up on existing skills, our training is tailored around individual needs and the kind of media and content platforms being targeted.

Many of the skills are transferrable to corporate video and social media contributions, as well as podcasts.

We also provide presentation skills training, for public speaking and panel contributions, as well as workshops for event moderators.

Headline Media UK works with all sorts of businesses, charities, organisations and individuals across the UK and globally.

What will I learn?

Our bespoke workshops are focused on helping you to excel in media interviews and other content contributions, growing your confidence across a range of formats.

We’ll teach you interview preparation techniques, how to formulate and communicate key messages and ways to handle tricky questions. You’ll also pick up tips on body language and presentation.

Learning is in the doing, with all participants taking part in a series of simulated interviews. These can include TV/video, radio/audio, print and digital content formats.

Bespoke scenarios are prepared for each participant, in conjunction with training organisers.

Interviews are recorded and played back, providing real time feedback and analysis. Copies are also provided after the training, for internal review and development.
