Local Government

Our training is designed to give your Executive Leadership Team (ELT), senior and emerging leaders, practical tips and tools to feel confident and in control when handling media interviews and challenging questions.

The experience also provides additional professional development for other areas of work where effective presentation and communication skills are critical (key-note presentations, leading meetings, team interviews).

For councillors, our customised induction module delivers practical and useful communication and presentation tools to support their role and other duties.

In amongst all the heavy governance sessions, this workshop is designed to be engaging and interactive.
