Media Myth: “The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Media Reality: “The MESSAGE is the message.”
– Jim Cameron
What’s YOUR message?
Whether in print or in person, on TV or on a panel, effective communication skills can only succeed if you have something to say. Our workshop helps you build those messages — then teaches you how to deliver them effectively.
Based on his broadcasting and journalism career of more than 30 years, Jim Cameron will guide you and your colleagues through a thought-provoking workshop to build your company’s positioning statement. In a half-day you’ll learn:
-
What kind of messages stakeholders, customers, and journalists view as credible and memorable.
-
How to reinforce those messages with the right “proof points,” to make your messages credible to even the most skeptical reporters.
-
How to deliver these messages, early and often, in media interviews, sales pitches and informal communications.
A warm, witty and experienced facilitator, Jim Cameron helps you craft your core messages and shows how to fine-tune your messages for every occasion and audience. In just a few hours, you’ll save weeks of consensus building as your communications consultant brainstorms with your team to hone your talking points to razor sharpness.
