Client feedback

“Greg began his ongoing relationship with Coastguard by being one of our key-note presenters at the annual Coastguard Conference in Wellington. Greg had the challenging conference slot of post-lunch presenting.  He was funny, engaging and, most importantly, informative and educational.  Our people left Conference feeling better about the media.  Since then, we have developed an ongoing relationship with Greg.  He has a wonderful knack of understanding the brief, putting people at ease, and teaching those valuable tips and insights.  We love working with Greg!”

Christine Haru, Marketing Manager, Coastguard NZ

"Greg is inspiring and focused.  I learnt more in our half-day session than a 2-day course back in the UK.  I would happily recommend Greg ”

Stephen Gibson, New Zealand King Salmon

"The team were all really positive about the session.  They certainly came out fizzing.  One actually asked to do the course again!  Thanks Greg, bang on as usual"

Quentin Reade, Head of Communications, Orcon

"Thanks Greg - much appreciated and as I have said to a few people now - it's not often you get really useful training and coaching.  I got an awful lot out of the session yesterday and actually am now looking forward to putting it into practice!  Cheers and thanks."

Rebecca Bose, NZ Managing Director, SHL

"Greg, I wish to convey my thanks to you for the superb media training you provided to myself and my colleagues. Our company recently had a major incident where I had to undertake around 50 media interviews in the space of 48 hours, including appearing on TV1  news three nights in a row. Your advice regarding building rapport with the media well as being prepared for a crisis has certainly paid off for our company."

Dave Hawkey, Chief Executive, Real Journeys

"Greg, thank you!!   The guys are still talking about the session.. they loved it!  They thought you did a terrific job.  They walked away feeling they learned something, and now they are already looking at dealing with media in an entirely new way. It was so good that I am now going to convince our CEO Chris Dickson to come in for a one-on-one session with you."

Jane Eagleson, BMW ORACLE (Americas Cup)

"There are few things more intimidating than a live media interview.  For more than ten years, Pead PR has been working with Greg to ensure our clients are best prepared for their media appearances.  My clients always tell me a session with Greg is amongst the most practical training they have received, and they carry the skills he teaches them throughout their lives.  We value Greg’s professionalism and experience and the results he achieves with our clients.  He makes us and our clients look good.”

Deborah Pead, Managing Director, Pead PR

"Greg, Thank you for the training at short notice - I can't emphasise how valuable the practice interviews proved to be, especially for the various live radio pieces. (Even though I agree - Paul Holmes was very gentle on me!).  Thanks again for the support and the positive feedback.  Kind regards."
