“Media Training Worldwide is flat out better than any other presentation training firm we have ever used. They get better results in one day of training than other training companies do in 2 day seminars. The bottom line is that Media Training Worldwide changes our executives for the better; when they leave a Media Training Worldwide workshop they speak with much more confidence and passion. Media Training Worldwide has made radical and permanent positive transformations with many of our employees. I can’t imagine using any other presentation training firm.”

“I put the skills learned in Media Training Worldwides seminar to excellent use. I was told by the producer that it was refreshing to work with someone who was comfortable in front of the camera and could get their message points out. So, kudos to you for training me! It was a wonderful experience. “

“I recently had an occasion to address a TV crew concerning the sale of our business being announced. I prepared my "three key points" and kept stating them repeatedly. I did several seconds of air time but was edited to only one key point. When the interview was completed the news reporter commented "you have done this before". Actually I had not, but the Worldwide Media training I received really worked. Thanks for giving me the "how to do" and confidence.”

TJ Walker knows the news business. His training sessions cut to the chase and prepare you for the glare of a camera in your face.

Working with T.J. and going through his very effective course is humbling especially when you thought your skills were already adequate.  I learned a lot and will carry it with me into every speaking engagement.

TJ was able to make me see quickly my strengths and weaknesses in public speaking, and how to correct these faults. My fear of standing before an audience was decreased in one session.

The information I learned in a single two day session might have taken me a lifetime to accumulate on my own.  The sessions have given me confidence to seek out media opportunities, as well as a real sense of my innate capabilities.  I would highly recommend his services to other university professors who have ideas that they would like to communicate to a much wider public.

The next day the phone started ringing. The local TV station wanted an interview. In 25 minutes!

I convened the same brain trust we used last time. In 20 minutes we had three message points. I dreamed up sound bites enroute to the shooting location. The story was the lead on the evening news. Two of the three message points were run. One point had two sound bites attached.

Your training really paid off!

Thanks

Thanks for my amazing, incredible and challenging day of media training. I came away realizing that I loved to talk..... I learned a lot that I can use in radio and in my training.

I mostly loved the idea of "getting my messages across" and "don't be a reference librarian". They were the biggest points I learned. And they are critical.

I spent two sessions with TJ, prior to beginning my book tour.  The difference is amazing.  I have never again used a card or notes or hidden behind a lectern.  It’s as if TJ freed me to engage an audience with my entire personality…telling stories, getting to key points and really making an impact.  Since then, I have given dozens of speeches and am now invited frequently for keynotes.

TJ...I just want to tell you how much you have helped me.  At this point, I have given dozens of speeches and nearly as many interviews since your training.  I can't believe the difference.  Never a lectern or a typed piece of paper or a card.  Just feeling easy and excited and happy to speak--with lots of bookings coming up.  And the media coverage has been so much more on point...no matter what they ask.  Thanks so much...my goal
is still to be a 10.
