  Executive Media Coaching:
  Communicate with Authority & Authenticity
  
  Presented by:
  Jason Roop, Springstory

  It’s never wise to wing it.

  This private, limited-attendance workshop is designed for leaders who represent their organizations publicly — or prepare others who do.

  Springstory founder, talent manager, and former journalist Jason Roop has been on both sides of the reporter’s notebook. In this practical, high-impact session, he’ll share the approach he uses to prepare executives and spokespeople to communicate clearly, confidently and effectively.

  Expect to discover:

  - How to prepare for print, broadcast and podcast interviews.
  - How to frame messages in ways that make reporters perk up.
  - The three non-question questions that determine interview success.
  - What to do before and after the interview to maximize impact.

  Earned media is one of the most valuable marketing tools at your disposal. This one-hour AMA Richmond workshop will sharpen your ability to communicate what matters — and make every interview count.
