BRAUN MEDIA TRAINING

Have you ever fumbled your way through an explanation of what you do, why you’re unique and what value you bring your customers?  Our high-impact custom coaching gives you the tools to express yourself with clarity and confidence so you can be more effective on the job and in relationships.

Everyone can benefit from media training. It makes you focus on the fundamentals of your business: what differentiates it in the market and who your customer is. Often, these basic but crucial messages are never effectively conveyed—because no one has taken the time to articulate them. In our training sessions, you’ll do just that—through a process that’s valuable, challenging and yes, enjoyable too.

With more than 25 years of network television experience, Braun Production is uniquely qualified to train you to be panel, presentation and camera-ready.  We are—first and foremost—seasoned journalists, listening with a producer’s ear to help you isolate your key messages, identify stories, examples and illustrations to bring those points to life, and put you in control of a personal and professional narrative that sticks with your audience.
