What changes during a media training session

Workshop with Mangold Consultancy

Before every training session, I send clients a short questionnaire to understand their specific goals and anxieties.

One question I always ask: “What are you most nervous about?”

The answers are remarkably consistent.

  • “I overcomplicate things when I’m under pressure.”
  • “I’m worried I won’t be able to answer a question.”
  • “I worry I’ll sound robotic if I stick to the key messages.”

What’s interesting is that by the end of the session, almost none of them are still worried about those things.

Not because we’ve eliminated the nerves.

But because they’ve seen themselves do it.

And that changes everything.

If you want to move past the nerves and find out what you are truly capable of in front of a camera, we can help. Discover how our tailored media training sessions can build your confidence and clarity.

Pretty proud of this one

Pretty Proud: Abby Mangold & Jess Mangold: "They are the critical friends you want on speed dial"

We’ve been working with this retail client for 5 years.

We’ve gone through the good times and the tougher ones.

We’ve supported each other to grow as organisations.

So we were chuffed when they told us:

“Abby and Jess consistently provide clear thinking and boil down complex matters, into concise guidance.

As media trainers they are industry experts, give honest and fair feedback in a safe environment.

They are the critical friends you want on speed dial.”

What’s the point of media training?

The media Training was so useful…

What’s the point of media training? Actually, this great comment from a happy client sums it up perfectly.

Our media training has always been about the live interview experience, a bit of a grilling and lots of confidence boosting to produce your best performance.

You never know, when it comes to the real interview, you might just enjoy yourself!
