Daunting at first but enjoyed the session overall. Some really good tips that will make a big difference to the way I think and approach my presentations.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I was apprehensive beforehand but found the training extremely useful and interactive. I feel a lot more confident now if I need to speak to the media (old or new!).

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.

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.

Arti made me feel at ease immediately and shared some vital tips that I was able to utilise in the interviews that we filmed on the media training day and that I can now use in other presentation situations… I am delighted with the outcome and, most importantly, our professional associates and clients have given me excellent feedback about the interview. It has achieved the objective of giving a great overview of my company’s service proposition and ethos and contributed to an increase in business from new clients.

I can’t thank you enough for preparing me for my interview with Anne Robinson on Watchdog. Your experience and expertise gave me the confidence and skills I needed to turn what could have been a publicity disaster to a real bonus for our business.

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.

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.
