All About Media Training for Executives by Ruth Sherman
The media can work for you or against you in direct relation to your level of preparedness. Media exposure requires leaders to positively convey messages via the press in both official and unscripted capacities. While most media training courses are delivered with a journalist mind-set, ours are delivered strictly from the client’s point of view. We believe for executives to perform well in a high-stakes media setting, they must be able to assert themselves while remaining likable; deliver powerful and logical talking points while being concise; present themselves and their businesses with conviction while conveying empathy; and be flexible while staying on-message and in control. Media training for executives prepares leaders for expert interviews, corporate news delivery, and crisis communication. Our goal in executive media training is to maximize comfort and confidence and minimize surprises.

Celebrity Coach & Communication Training by Ruth Sherman
Celebrities and public figures require communication training that can only be addressed by partnering with an experienced celebrity coach. Whether media training, public speaking, message development, or other related needs, our programs maximize confidence and control and minimize surprises. As we have seen time and again, the media can either expedite a person’s public ascension, or quickly and devastatingly take him or her down. All of this is controlled through proper training and management by a qualified celebrity coach. Communication training for celebrities and public figures (as well as those on the cusp of fame), enables these extraordinary professionals to become adept at navigating appearances and media interviews and interactions, subsequently benefiting from the upside, while avoiding the “media slide” that is, unfortunately, so common today, where celebrities and those in the public eye are judged and punished by a single misstep.

Leadership Skills & Executive Communication Training: Alternatives to Handshakes by Ruth Sherman
In my field, the nonverbal communication code of touch is known as haptics. Yes, it’s the same term phone manufacturers use to refer to the mobile phone vibrate notification. In particular, the handshake has been a powerful tool in Western business communication for decades. So I’ve been very curious about how our use of touch, including the handshake, will change when physical distancing is relaxed, what it will mean, and how we’ll adapt. Confession: I will not be unhappy to see the habit of business hugging go away. I always thought that was fraught and even sexist as we rarely see two men doing it.

Effective message development results in repeatable memes that quickly communicate the corporate message and resonate with target markets for years to come.
Public Speaking & Presentation Skills Training by Ruth Sherman
In my newsletters leading up to my TEDx Talk on February 29, (Part 1 here & Part 2 here & Part 3 here), I wrote and spoke about how I applied for and was selected to do a TEDx Talk, as well as how torturous the preparation process was. Now I have a chance to share my TEDx Talk with you and give you some final thoughts about my experience. This TEDx was sponsored by the University of Mississippi, the state’s flagship university. I’d never been to the state before, so was excited to go. Ole Miss has a lot of history, much of it around the Civil War, and exploring the campus and the town of Oxford was an education.
