Media Training
All training is currently being conducted via Zoom or your favorite platform.
Our mission is to help you face the media with clarity, confidence, and control. We want you to understand how journalists and producers think, how to navigate interviews strategically, and how to deliver your message authentically, so every appearance strengthens your credibility and your brand.
Our approach works because we know the media from the inside out. Lisa Elia draws on decades of experience as a publicist and media trainer who has prepared clients for major TV, radio, print, and podcast interviews. Each session blends research, strategy, and messaging with mindset, habits, and body language, helping you transform from the inside out.
Even skilled communicators can elevate their media presence. We help you refine how you think, speak, and prepare for interviews so that you project composure, warmth, and authority under pressure. You’ll understand your audiences, align your tone with your goals, and master both the message and the medium.
