Media and Digital Training

"Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into the session, Peg. The level of detail was spot on. I find comms can be quite a hard thing to sell to people sometimes, with so many thinking it is just a nice to have. You sold it with confidence and authority. Brilliant session!”

“I recently had the fantastic opportunity to work with Peg Alexander on a Misinformation Media Masterclass for local authorities, addressing the rising issue of misinformation campaigns targeting council action on local transport measures. Peg was incredibly thorough, insightful, and professional, offering expertly tailored advice to each attendee, considering their unique situations and local contexts. Her adaptability and authority in both the classroom and studio settings truly stood out. If you're in need of media training or guidance on navigating misinformation, I can't recommend Peg highly enough! A brilliant experience working with her! 👏🌟.”

“The day was great, really helped me feel more in control and confident in front of a camera and microphone.”

“Excellent media training. The team really enjoyed it, and I could see by the end of the day, that their confidence had impressively grown from what it was in the morning. Thank you so much for this.”

“I thought your positive feedback to everybody was fantastic. I thought it was amazing that you engaged everyone and every single person had a go despite their fear. A really good training event which led me to believe I can do it.”

“It’s been a real pleasure working with you - you are truly one of the bright lights of the industry, and you taught me all the good stuff I know about Zoom!”

“Spot-on social media training for us today, run by the excellent @TVRadioPeg.”

“Peg Alexander ran a brilliant Zoom social media training session for us last week. It was super useful, so I would recommend asking Peg to run something similar for your hubs, staff, boards, groups, partners etc.”

“Your help on radio presentation skills has really improved our weekly radio show.”

“I love your video about how to film videos on our phones. It's perfect and so friendly and inviting. Hooray for fabulous you!”

“I really enjoyed media training with you Peg. I've overcome some fears and learnt a lot from it. It was a really enjoyable day. Thank you.”

“Excellent media training. I have done media training before and this by far was the most memorable. Peg had lots of knowledge and excellent tips to share. I will feel much more confident in taking part in media interviews in the future. Very highly recommended. Thank you Peg :)”

“It was valuable and a privilege to receive guidance from an expert in all forms of media. I really benefited from their knowledge and experience. We were able to learn new skills to help us speak about our roles and the people who access our services using less jargon and in a way that people (not familiar with how we work) can relate to if listening to us on radio/tv etc. It also helped me reflect on how uncomfortable recording my voice, or being filmed makes me feel - something to work on for me which I feel encouraged to do after the session.”

“Really enjoyed the day. Was a little apprehensive to start with, but Peg made us all feel relaxed and was really positive about our TV and Radio interview practices. Good to see the different skills and perspectives that other Partnership members also displayed.”

“Loved the mix of theory and then the opportunity to put this into practice by making our own video.  So interesting to see others approaches and ideas all of which were received so positively by Peg and others in the team.”

“Thank you for this brilliant training! What I liked the most was the participatory and interactive format of the session accompanied with some home homeworking before the session and the useful tips that were given.”

“While a speedy afternoon I thought it was really inciteful and threw in things I wouldn't have thought of. It was good to look at speaking vs reading/writing and how a script should be as you say. I thought the interview bit was really good to get us thinking how it would sound to others and helping cover up pauses but also not speaking over each other.”

“I think the way you made everyone feel at ease was great, as it's often difficult to do these things in front of people. It doesn't often come naturally to people so I think the informal and relaxed approach was really good. The format was really useful and it gave everyone a chance to have a go at everything.”

“Again really great session with mix of theory and practical.  Loved reading the script and hearing how we each interpreted the same thing.  Opportunity to interview each other in safe supportive space was great.  Evidently some really talented people on the team and felt great to be part of it.”

“This session was fun, informative and jam-packed with ideas and tips.”

“A really great, thought-provoking session, that has challenged my approach as to the content of my posts, delivered by an inspiring and enthusiastic host.”

“A really great session, gave us lots to think about for where to focus our efforts to get started with our own social media and gaining greater connections within our local area. Feeling very positive about it :-)”

“The second of Peg's sessions that I have attended, I am not a social media fan per se but her sessions are always so engaging, they challenge my assumptions and inspire me to use SM for work in ways that I would not have considered before.”

“I really enjoyed the course as the content was great and also the way it was delivered was in a relaxed way, which created space to ask questions and hear about other people's experiences. It was a nice balance of structured activities and discussion time. Peg did some lovely ice-breaking activities that really brought us together as a group. It was not only a useful session content-wise but also a networking session, I met some lovely people! Thanks!”
