Professional training that builds leaders' confidence, clarity and impact in media interviews, strengthening organisational reputation.

Leaders should always be prepared for media scrutiny in make-or-break moments where reputation, trust and credibility are on the line. It’s also an essential skill when promoting your products or services. MIH’s Media Interview masterclasses are designed specifically for those situations, helping you stay in control of your message when it really counts.

This immersive course is designed to rapidly build confidence and capability across TV, radio and press interviews. It is a hands-on day with realistic scenarios, expert coaching and detailed playback.

What previous delegates have said about our Media Interview Skills masterclass

“I have done media training a couple of times, one with the Gold Command programme. We did more practical on your course and this approach is exactly right! The day more than exceeded my expectations.”

Regional Operations Director, East Midlands Ambulance Service

“MIH developed appropriate scenarios and challenges that felt real for the country medical directors and tailored to their level of confidence. The feedback from the team was great. They valued the opportunity to experience various modes of media exposure and the guidance given on how to prepare for and participate in media or similar scenarios. I would recommend MIH and definitely use them again with future teams.”
