TOP NOTCH ADVICE and CONTENT. Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes on the ball. Watch your mouth, and how u phrase your words. EXCELLENT lecture, more real life situations and examples will enrich the calibre of this course. Well presented. Keep up the good work.

I learnt a new thing about comportment on the camera and how not to answer an interview question in a press conference.

These advises and techniques are gems, a public administration officer or PIO should have. Often times being the face of an organization puts tremendous stress and pressure to the representatives causing immediate resignation or displacement whenever interviews or Q&As go wrong. This whole course dives into the specifics and roundabouts of such interviews and conferences.

This was a good course. I have taken multiple courses at conferences and read books on this topic. I enjoyed how this course was organized and felt like I learned new information that will help me give better interviews in the future.

It was a good match for me. I learnt every petty piece of stuff like makeup is significant in the interview as well as controlling one's own mouth is pretty much important instrument to manipulate the interview. But in some cases, I just felt that some points of this course could be clarified more by adding real-life interviews that indicates our erroneous response to the questions asked by the reporters.

I do many of these things automatically, but it helps to hear them spoken so I can relay them to my subject matter expert colleagues (scientists) so they are also prepared to go on camera.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced and well-structured yet entertaining course. Thank you TJ! Hopefully, with practice, I can be just as comfortable and calm in any situation as you are. I will also suggest everyone follow TJ Walk on social media i.e Facebook, youtube etc, (and Tik Tok of course), he shares a one minute bit size habit changer video every day which has been very inspirational for me in the morning (due to time differences). Again, thank you TJ! Stay in touch!

Both TJ Walker courses I have done need quiz components. This was better than the last one but does not test adequately beyond the uploads.

I have had some media training and this course has, so far, exceeded my expectations. Touches on everything from style and presentation to the various essential professional skills. The expert training and advice( how to develop, compose, and deliver messages) will help me reach the next level.
