I help New Zealand newsmakers prepare for media interviews, podcasts and presentations.
My workshops are practical, realistic and confidence-building. You’ll also enjoy the process. The sessions are supportive and good-humoured, with no attempt to embarrass anyone.
My coaching is grounded in decades of journalism and broadcasting experience. I have worked in the newsrooms of RNZ, TVNZ, TV3, Sydney's Network Ten and the London bureau of 2GB radio. I have also reported from New Zealand for the BBC for more than 20 years.
During my time as a Tourism New Zealand media guide, I helped international media teams tell New Zealand stories, working with documentary makers from the BBC, ITV, CBS and CNN.
Clients often tell me my workshops remove the mystery from media interviews and give them practical skills they can use immediately.
Away from training, I’m an enthusiastic photographer.
