Media Training

Media and performance coaching is one of Enterprise’s core businesses. Our carefully-refined approach is designed to build individual confidence for effective message delivery, whether you’re promoting new initiatives and announcements or strategically managing issues and tough questions.

Our training goes beyond media interviews to keep spokespeople on solid footing with any audience. It applies to speeches, panels, staff meetings, sales pitches, even cocktail parties — any time you need to make a strong impression and get a message across.

Look Inside

Our success stems from our determination to understand the motivation driving behaviour – yours and your audience’s. We go below the surface to discover the emotional and rational drivers at play in any situation.

We call this process “Look Inside” and it is at the heart of our business. Journalists are looking for stories that resonate with their readers, viewers, listeners and followers; emotion is the — often subconscious — driver of this.

Our Work

“Many said it was one of the best training workshops they had ever attended and that the training was very valuable in their role as local leaders. Honestly, we’ve never had such raves from our [members] who tend to be very reserved.”

– Valerie Dugale

Media Relations & Communications, Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario

“We were quite impressed with their subject matter expertise, as well as their creative and effective training methods and tools. Definitely one of the most beneficial training sessions I have attended. I have personally taken a lot from it and have started applying key learnings in my role. ”

– Samer Abou-Sweid

Vice-President, Bluewater Health

“Exceptional training for veteran and new candidates alike. The Enterprise sessions are interactive, engaging and build the confidence needed to face the media and the public. ”

– Jason Kenney

Premier of Alberta

What Sets Us Apart

With several former journalists on staff, and political staff who’ve dealt with media from the other side, our media training is unparalleled. We have provided expert advice and training for hundreds of high-level spokespeople– including Prime Ministers, Premiers, political party leaders, election candidates, senior civil servants, agency heads, c-suite executives, and business and association leaders – across Ontario, nationally and internationally.

Enterprise training sessions are all about strategy. Our media training is not just about practicing to answer questions — it is holistic, taking into account all of the issues and factors that enable strong, successful message delivery to your target audiences.
