"I highly recommend Jess' pre-summit training. I have done different forms of media training before, and participated in Jess' class last in 2008. He not only covered the important media points, but added on-camera tips and the practice was fantastic! It really solidified my confidence and abilities. People in my media mastermind group really noticed the difference.
Best,
Dr. Mark

"You helped me out at a time that I just really didn't get what I was supposed to tell the media to MAKE THEM WANT to interview me.
You got the perfect pitch for me and since then, I have NEVER EVER been refused an interview ... I have done 150 or so and I have some more coming up."
"What a WONDERFUL SPEAKER AND TALENT you are. You're funny, you're smart, you're disarmingly honest and your comments to our group were off the charts helpful.
Workshop takes place from 9am to 5pm on

Avoid the Pitfalls
MOST MEDIA COACHES
MISS
THE MARK!
They think that Media Training or "Media
Coaching" is ONLY about helping people do a great job in
interviews.
Unfortunately, that's only part of it. Interviews, like anything in life have a BEGINNING, MIDDLE, and END.
The Beginning:PITCHING. We'll teach you specific techniques on how to turn your BOOK or topic into something the media WANTS and NEEDS to cover.
The Middle:THE ACTUAL INTERVIEW. Yes! You got a media interview.
NOW WHAT?!! We'll get specific on how to find and focus your MESSAGE, how to create SOUND BITES that SELL, and deal with ANY pitfall you may encounter. People who "wing it" are not trying to sell books.
The End:Leveraging Interviews. TURN INTERVIEWS INTO SALES.
Few Media Coaches realize how important this part is. THIS IS WHY YOU WANT THE MEDIA TO COVER YOU! Again, we get SPECIFIC on techniques you can't afford NOT to know. These techniques will reward you for years to come, and set you up to sell future books, products, services, and seminars ...
Sales:Isn't that really WHY you would want to
get in front of the media.
During this workshop, We'll take you through the
WHOLE process.
