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!).

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.

I had a full day of coaching with Arti and have subsequently found the areas we covered to be extremely useful in my day to day role at Aston Villa. The course was very practical and enjoyable at the same time, and not a moment was wasted. Thoroughly recommended

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.

The media training I did with Arti really helped me focus on my key messages. I had already done some media interviews, but now I better understand what the media wants and as a result have built stronger relationships with the industry, with some great results. Highly recommend this to anyone – I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner!

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

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.

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 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.

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 provided a media training for our senior comms team at Diageo. It was overall a great experience: informative and challenging in a great way. From having on-camera practice and getting to see the recordings right away, to Arti’s kind but direct feedback, it set a good atmosphere amongst peers for us to all learn from each other as needed. I would recommend her media training to any company or person in need of a basic 101 or refresher.
