TRAINING

Media Training

These skills are particularly important when speaking to a journalist, which is why we offer media training. An interview is not a conversation and to make the most of this opportunity, it is necessary to prepare, practise, and to monitor yourself objectively. Our courses are specially designed to do this and to teach you how to define the key messages you want publicised.

Presentation skills

There is nothing more boring than ‘death by powerpoint’. Yet so many people do not know how to make an effective presentation. Our courses ensure you achieve your objectives when presenting to clients, customers and colleagues.

Conference chairing and hosting

Is chairing a meeting something to relish or dread? An effective chair ensures a meeting runs to time, lets every speaker feel confident and comfortable, and allows the audience the chance to ask questions. Sounds simple? Yet so few people succeed, which is why a chairing skills course is vital for top executives.

When you need an independent facilitator, ncmedia can provide an experienced professional.

Corporate films, B-roll and Podcasts

Do you rely on the written word or have you embraced the power of the internet and visual media? We can help you make webcasts, podcasts and corporate films.

Issues Management

Businesses spend years and invest millions of pounds building credible and trustworthy reputations to capture market share and ensure long-term growth. However, with just one crisis, all that effort and investment can be undone in seconds. Wherever possible the aim is to prevent an ISSUE from becoming a CRISIS.

Influencing skills

How can you ensure you win an argument, get the job you want, or simply make others listen to you properly? There are successful techniques to this - our expert trainers can show you the way.

The Virtual Newsroom

The aim is to give people an experience of the “news process” as well as informing them about its value.

It shows how journalists decide what is a news story – what elements they need to cover every angle. It introduces the power of pictures and case studies, and then it shows the finished product.

This course simulates a news room and a live TV programme.

GOOD communication

ncmedia believes good communication skills are the only way to ensure your message is never misunderstood.

Communicating effectively is a skill, and one that has to be developed and tested on a regular basis. To be effective in business it is necessary to communicate well – with customers, clients and especially with your staff.

Our training programmes promise to teach these skills to you and your team. Remember, effective communication improves all relationships.
