Arti was the compere for the ceremony for the Apps for Good Awards, our biggest annual event where we bring together our students, teachers, partners and volunteers. She brought polish and professionalism to the ceremony, as well as enthusiasm and humour. From the start Arti was a pleasure to work with – flexible, thoughtful and thorough, and she provided really useful insights on the ceremony to make it the best possible experience for everyone. She also made an extra effort to meet our students and get to know us as an organisation. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her.

Thanks so much for the media training sessions you held for us. We’ve already had lots of good feedback from those that attended – even those that were sceptical at first – and people are already starting to apply the learning, which is fantastic. I have attended many media training sessions in the past, which have largely been based on theoretical learning, and I’ve got to say the hands-on learning approach you use has been much more effective in building the confidence and capability of our spokespeople.

The media training programme I attended was excellent, balancing the theory behind good communications with the opportunity to do interviews to camera and receive immediate feedback. I came away feeling much more confident about my ability to handle interactions with the media.

Arti has worked with 4 of my Vistage groups so far – and each time it has been amazing, she is extremely knowledgeable, warm, energetic, thought provoking, challenging (in the right way) and an expert at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to hone their presentation skills irrespective of experience.

All of my colleagues found the training extremely valuable and are now much better equipped to both handle media interviews and respond to any sensitive press issues that may arise in the future.

Extremely thought provoking and not just useful in a media setting but to take into your working day.

I found the Effective Communication Course really useful, especially the language section. The techniques highlighted will prove to be invaluable to me when presenting and pitching for new work. Thanks Arti for being so enthusiastic and helping me realise my true potential. An excellent course that I would recommend over and over again.

The way we worked together to get the message and presentation right really made a difference. Some simple skills and techniques which make the difference time after time – delivering speeches which get across point and personality.

I hired Arti to run an effective communications workshop for my fast track exec leadership programme. From the outset Arti made the group feel relaxed and her practical approach to mastering the art of effective communication was extremely innovative and the group left with a stock of useful tips and tools. Most impressive was she achieved this in just half a day. I’ll certainly be inviting her back again this year.

Arti created a bespoke training day for my team. The day achieved the primary objective of honing and improving our current presentation skills. This was evident immediately. However the unexpected and wholly beneficial ‘after-shock’ of the training was a deep questioning of the way we do things and desire to look at achieving our goals afresh, rather than merely following previous practice. Effective, thought-provoking and fun! I’d highly recommend Arti.

The training itself was reassuring, informative and engaging. I found myself wanting to do more and more exercises and role plays so as to perfect my TV interviews!! Arti was a fantastic coach and mentor throughout the day and ensured really detailed feedback for us all. I loved her bubbly personality, delivery style and her energy. She pushed us to deal with our discomforts and weaknesses and I am absolutely convinced that we all left yesterday, far richer in confidence, knowledge and awareness than any of us would have expected.

Arti ran a workshop to my Vistage 5 Group at Ragley Hall last week on media training, with outstanding results. There were 23 CEO’s from different industries and her average score for relevance and presentation skills was 97%, the group has been together for several years and thought Arti was one of the best speakers we have had at our meetings.
I recommend anyone or organisation who wants to take advantage of media interviews, with confidence to engage Arti as a remarkable individual with outstanding training ability, I will be inviting her back to the group as soon as possible.
