Personal, Practical Media Training
One-to-one coaching focused on you, your message and your results.
Katie's media training is tailored to each individual, their communication style and the situations they need to prepare for.
Working one-to-one, clients receive focused feedback on their presentation, delivery, body language and on-camera style, with practical guidance they can put into action straight away.
Rather than spending time on generic exercises or unnecessary theory, Katie focuses on the areas that can make the biggest difference, working with real presentations, interview questions and video content to identify improvements and build confidence.
Training can take place in a London studio, at your workplace or online, depending on your requirements.
Whether you want to present more confidently on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, improve a corporate video, prepare for an investor presentation or develop your skills in face-to-face presentations and live events, the focus is on helping you communicate more effectively in the situations that matter to you.

Zoom, Teams & Virtual Presentation Training
Presenting through Zoom or Microsoft Teams requires a different approach from speaking to an audience in person.
Katie helps CEOs and senior executives develop their virtual presentation skills, from camera positioning and eye contact to voice, pace and maintaining attention through a screen.
Training can also cover recording short video messages, handling questions and avoiding a scripted or wooden delivery, helping executives communicate naturally and confidently in online meetings, presentations and corporate videos.
Zoom presentation training and Microsoft Teams presentation training can be particularly relevant for CEOs and senior leaders who regularly present remotely or record online messages.
Interview & Difficult Question Training
Learn to think like an interviewer.
As an experienced television presenter and interviewer, Katie understands what journalists look for in an interview and how effective questions can reveal the substance of a story.
She helps executives prepare for challenging questions, stay focused on key messages, avoid rambling and explain complex subjects clearly.
Interview training for CEOs can include preparing for difficult questions, explaining complex or sensitive issues, staying focused on key messages and communicating confidently under pressure.
For executives preparing for television, business news or other media appearances, practical preparation can help them anticipate the questions they may face, respond naturally when a conversation takes an unexpected direction and communicate without sounding over-rehearsed.

Executive Presence & Confidence on Camera
Look and sound like yourself, at your best.
Effective on-camera communication is not about turning executives into television presenters. It is about helping them communicate with greater authority, clarity and authenticity.
Drawing on her broadcasting experience, Katie helps business leaders develop their delivery, body language, tone, pace and concise communication, so they can engage their audience and present their ideas confidently.
These skills can be applied to CEO interviews, corporate videos, leadership messages and virtual presentations.
The aim is not to make every executive present in the same way, but to help each individual communicate naturally and effectively.
London TV Studio Training
For a professional studio experience, media training can also take place in a fully equipped London TV studio which is available to hire.
This TV news environment provides access to make-up facilities, auto-cue, lighting and recording equipment to help participants practise and review their on-camera performance in a broadcast-style setting.
Confidential & Tailored Training
Every executive, organisation and communication challenge is different.
Katie's approach can be tailored to the individual's experience, objectives and the situations they need to prepare for.
