STARTUP MASTERCLASS - Media & live interview training - practice landing your messages with the media... and everyone else

Run by Harpswood, Climate Connection's trusted partner for Public Relations.

Worried you’ll freeze in front of the camera? Want to learn the tricks that top communicators use when landing their messages? Do you want to know how to navigate tricky questions you might get from journalists, investors and any other external party?

Hosted by Harpswood, this media training taster session will consist of a combination of theory and practical interview scenarios. Learn from the team who regularly media trains clients ranging from early-stage disruptors to tech unicorns.

Attendees will take part in live mock interview scenarios which will be critiqued in real-time by former journalists and media pros. You’ll learn how to handle tricky questions and get your messages across.

While you’ll learn how to navigate interviews with journalists - what you take away can be applied to presenting at work, speaking to investors, bosses or teammates.

PLEASE NOTE: Spots are limited for office hours and the Masterclass and are available by application only. You'll automatically receive an invitation to apply if you're a startup. If you're an SME or feel these Office Hours would be relevant to you, please drop us an email at aaron@climateconnection.co.uk.
