Stay on message. Speak with confidence. Shape the story.

Do you feel hesitant about speaking to the media? Worried about saying the wrong thing or being misquoted? Many avoid interviews because they don’t feel in control. But media opportunities are powerful moments to amplify issues you care about—if you know how to navigate them. Whether preparing for your first interview or strengthening your organization’s presence, this practical training helps you communicate clearly and confidently—no matter the format or pressure.

Learn how to:

Prepare effectively for all interview types—print, broadcast, friendly, or hostile
Craft concise, quotable messages highlighting your expertise
Bridge from off-topic questions back to what matters most
Turn complex issues into compelling soundbites audiences can connect with
