About this Event

This course is designed to help participants to excel on every stage, screen, and platform.

Join a small, personal group for this one-day course, led by Catherine McDonald, Director of Popping Orange Communications.

With limited numbers, you'll benefit from targeted, one-on-one focus designed to help you excel on every stage, screen, and platform. Whether it’s presenting in a boardroom, leading a live event or appearing on a podcast, TV or radio - the way you present yourself matters. This course will give you the tools, confidence, and strategies to speak with clarity and authenticity, connect with your audience, and command attention.

You’ll learn how to craft compelling narratives around your expertise, project that expertise on camera or stage, and handle interviews with confidence – navigating challenging questions with poise. We’ll discuss body language, outfit choices, and the subtle media techniques that will help you present yourself and your expertise in the best way possible.

  • Why media training is important
  • Why, as a busy professional with a rammed schedule, should you make time to publicly engage?
  • What is best practice when preparing for an interview?
  • How do you successfully navigate an interview, stay on message and avoid the pitfalls?
  • How can you maximise your input after the interview?
  • 1 x audio interview plus feedback
  • 1 x on camera interview plus feedback

Catherine is an established media trainer who consistently receives excellent feedback from course participants, most recently scoring 99 out of 100 available stars from the FE Week team.

“Our media training session was perfectly crafted for the team, and expertly delivered.”

“Cath [Catherine McDonald] is a true expert at her craft. She's patient, encouraging but also crucially constructively critical to drive improvements in participants. I learnt a great deal and look forward to putting this into action.”

What are your next steps for engaging - let’s set some goals!
