TRUSTED WHEN THE MESSAGE MATTERS.

“Recently I had the opportunity to work with Chris Urquhart and his ‘Media Edge’ development program to enhance my confidence and skills dealing with the media. The ‘Media Edge’ program and the foundation of the ‘Five Simple Steps’ really took my development and confidence to the next level. One week post the training I was fronting the media for a significant product launch which delivered great results for our organisation. Chris is pragmatic, he keeps it simple, he will challenge and focuses on your strengths to be better. Since the program, I have had my key executives book participation in the program and highly recommend Chris.”

“I think that doing interviews with the media is a daunting prospect for many people. That’s why we recently completed media training with Chris Urquhart, to build more capability in authentically telling our story. Chris landed bite-sized chunks of theory which was easy to digest, but the main benefits came from doing the mock-interviews, and receiving direct and in-the-moment feedback from Chris. It was an engaging and very intense learning experience.”

“Chris helped us with recent media training we conducted with our executive team in Sydney and was a consummate professional. He questioned our trainees in a real life scenario of what could happen on-air in both a satellite and sit-down interview setting and the experience for them was invaluable. Chris’s style was exactly what we were looking for and was fantastic to work with. I would recommend Chris in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a media training interviewer and I look forward to working with him again.”

“Chris joined leaders of Sydney Fish Market for a day of media training recently; he tailored a session that suited both first timers, and senior leaders who were finessing their skills. Chris brought a wealth of knowledge regarding the media landscape, and delivered a comprehensive session with relevant content centred around a range of media scenarios. His approach was practical, relatable, and considered. The confidence Chris instilled in the group certainly carried through to subsequent media appearances, allowing our team to better tailor their approach and style, resulting in a uplift in spokesperson cut-through and overall positive media sentiment.”

“I was extremely impressed by the Media Training session Chris provided. His exceptional level of preparation and research into our business before the day meant that the content was highly relevant, topical and well-tailored to actual media circumstances our business may face any day. In addition, Chris’ delivery of the training was superb, with every minute being put to great use. All of our attendees left feeling like they had learned a lot and were now genuinely well-prepared to face a media situation. It was undoubtedly an extremely valuable course, and is a must for any business leader or spokesperson.”
