Media

The Art of Listening

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"

It's the greatest of privileges enabling people to tell their stories - and some of those stories are incredibly moving.

I specialise in radio because it is intimate - it is one-to-one. We tend to listen to the radio when we are on our own, as apposed to watching the television with others. In fact listening to the radio, or a podcast, or an audio clip with others can be awkward as we never know where to look.

My guests have shared their stories about being a victim of violence, losing a child through illness or even murder, their desperation due to poor mental health, being a victim of hate crime, being homeless, etc. These are stories with intense feeling and they burn themselves into our memory cells and change us forever.

What can I offer?

• Training in media skills in how to prepare to be interviewed and get your message across.
• Interviewing skills to enable your guests to be at their best.
