“I found the press officer media training really helpful and informative. Not only did Josette help us to learn and develop the techniques required to conduct an effective interview, it was also incredibly useful to get a flavour of what our spokespeople go through and how to help them prepare and handle potentially difficult situations. Josette is vastly experienced and I really enjoyed the training.“

“Josette’s training session was one of the best I have ever been on, and by chance last week I was able to do a radio interview for the agency at short notice, making use of her advice. Please pass on my thanks and recommendation to all involved.“

“Ms Lesser provided media training for senior Army officers tasked with delivering sensitive subject matters within clear Government guidelines, comprehensively briefing and training them to handle questions posed by national journalists with confidence. Ms Lesser also delivered on group media training courses including Army Unit Public Relations Officers. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a highly competent media trainer.”

“This really was an excellent course. The combination of widely applicable communication skills, specific approaches for handling journalist’s questions, and the particular tips for performing well in virtual on-screen interviews was incredibly powerful. I feel much better equipped for handling media interviews in this day and age.”
