In recognition of the requirement for senior public sector representatives to maintain an open and transparent relationship with their key stakeholders, the CEF offers a full day media training course, tailored to public sector leaders.
The course covers what to do when approached for an interview; how to improve your sound on radio and image on TV; how you can influence the direction of the interview; turning the negatives into positives in the 'live' situation; and dealing with those tough questions – including video clips to demonstrate the dos and dont's.
