I help your leaders and experts feel at ease in front of the camera and clear on their message.

Your organisation is working to make the world a better, fairer, more sustainable place.

Your CEO is a highly respected expert in their field.

But put a camera in front of their face and they freeze. Tell them they have an interview with a journalist and they'll do anything to get out of it. Or worse, they do the interview and the journalist tells you they can't use it because they didn't understand what your CEO was talking about.



What if they could effortlessly translate their in-person confidence to camera, as though they’ve been doing TV appearances for years?



I’m Naomi Lloyd - TV presenter, reporter and producer with more than 15 years' experience.

I'm here to help your leaders and experts develop a powerful broadcast presence and clearly communicate the value and impact of the work your organisation does.

So they look like they have been doing TV appearances for years.
And your organisation becomes more visible to funders, stakeholders, policymakers and the general public.

TV NEWS INTERVIEWS

A TV OR RADIO INTERVIEW IS A ONE-SHOT OPPORTUNITY TO IMPRESS WITH A CLEAR MESSAGE.

If your CEO has an upcoming TV appearance or your organisation is missing out on media opportunities because they dread being on TV or radio, this service is for you.

Through a bespoke session, I help your CEO experiment with different techniques to master the art of the interview and deal with difficult questions.

We look at body language, pace and tone. Plus, where to look when the camera is on you.

I explain exactly what TV reporters and news producers need from an interview - so that it becomes a more "every day" experience. And your CEO gets asked back!

We practice storytelling and using memorable examples to connect on a human level the impact of the work of your organisation.

I work with the Communications team beforehand to get clear on the key messages. So that on the day, we can dive straight into the training.

The best way to learn is to have a go!

We practice real-life media scenarios where I interview your CEO in front of the camera. Whether for live or pre-recorded TV interviews - in a TV studio, on location or via a video call (and yes, there is a big difference between all of these!)

Then we watch the interview back.

I give honest and insightful feedback.

Then we go again for another interview - and see the improvement.

I create a safe space to try things out. And most of all, it will be fun - I promise!

MODERATING PANELS

I train in-house moderators to successfully moderate panel discussions and ensure a lively and memorable conversation with panellists.

We take out the unnecessary jargon that makes the audience go to sleep - and inject some fun into it all!

We cover how to have a powerful presence on stage, and how to connect with the audience so they are glued to your moderator's every word (not secretly looking at their phones!)

And we practice how to steer the conversation to bring out the key issues, success stories and messages you want the audience to remember and to act on.

Naomi trained our staff to moderate their own respective sessions and coached the shortlisted young researchers that were competing for the Blue Skies research award to pitch in front of the judges. Not only did her training help give a professional touch to our event all over. It also gave these professionals and researchers new confidence in public speaking and presenting in general.

get video confident

When your leaders and experts record a video, you want them to feel and sound confident, not awkward and slightly apologetic like they're reading a script.

You need your organisation to look professional. And for the video message to be clear, concise and memorable.

Whether the video is for sending to a conference or putting on social media, I create bespoke sessions where we can cover how to:

I also offer the option to bring in my camera crew and make-up artist to film professional videos for your conference, social media and website.

We had a great session on media engagement with Naomi, focused on media relations and how to achieve our external engagement, awareness-raising, and advocacy goals by pitching stories to the media strategically. Naomi did great preparation work and I appreciated the level of detail she looked into ahead of the session. We enjoyed Naomi’s clear, concise communication style, and the determination to share as many best practices, concrete tools, and approaches as possible to ensure that I and my team walked out of the room more confident and a lot better equipped.

Head of Communications and External Relations, UNHCR Nordic and Baltic Countries

I hired Naomi to provide media training for our management team as well as for a few programme directors at EIT Climate-KIC to handle TV interviews and speaking opportunities ahead of an international event. This was one of the most valuable exercises we’ve done when it comes to communicating about what we do and a great investment for our organisation. Naomi helped us understand how to craft our message and what language to use to connect with the audience. As much as we are experts on the topics, we aren’t always so great at communicating about these complexities in ways that are accessible to our target audience.
