Media Training at Your Convenience
Our Media Training Workshops and Webinars are designed for people who want to keep their media relations and communication skills sharp.
Below you'll find feedback by past participants, background on me, the workshop instructor, and detailed information about each workshop when you select the link to the workshop of interest.
As soon as your registration is completed, I will send you instructions on how to access and download the workshop or webinar resource materials. Many participants report they are worth the cost of the workshop or webinar alone.
If you have a general question about the media training workshops and webinars, please see the FAQs in the Online Help Desk. If you have questions about a specific workshop after you are registered, please call me or submit a support ticket. If it's appropriate, I might add your question and our answer to the FAQs section, with your approval of course.
Don’t wait until the last minute to register or you might miss the opportunity. I cancel undersubscribed webinars and workshops and reward those who don't wait until the last minute to register. If you register before the early bird date listed in the workshop description you'll buy more time and save more money
There are two more benefits to not waiting until the last minute to register: 1) you'll be able to download and review the resource materials before the session and 2) I will have a chance to review your website in advance of the workshop so I can get an idea about your organization before we meet and perhaps use your company as a case study.
Your questions
During the registration process, you’ll be invited to submit your
questions in advance. If your questions are not answered during the
workshop, we’ll answer them during the interactive question and answer
session at the end of the workshop presentation. Other participants
will be invited to offer you their suggestions as well. You’ll be
able to post your questions to the workshop forums or to the online support
system before or after the workshop.
