Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Virginie
I train spokespeople in media interview and public speaking exercises so that companies' messages are understood by their various audiences.
I spent 8 years in agencies, including 4 years training spokespeople in interview techniques; and one question came up in every session: "what am I allowed to say?"
Based on this request, I developed a tailor-made training program focusing on content (what to say) but also on substance (how to say it to be understood). I then adapt the session according to your spokesperson's needs. What doesn't change: the filmed exercises and the live debrief with tailored advice to get the messages across effectively.
To learn more about how the training is organized, let's talk!
