Nearly all the feedback we get from participants on our courses is extremely positive—in fact most of our new business comes through recommendation from existing satisfied clients. Here are just a few examples—the originals are held on file, but as we carry out our work in confidence in some cases we cannot reveal names:
Media Training! I was always going to be out of my comfort zone but I’m glad I did it … Tom Maddocks thank you for sharing your tips and advice, and for making it a fun experience too! Anyone thinking about media training, I’d happily recommend Tom!” ~ Mary Webb, Head of Marketing, Cambridge Building Society
Tom has run several media training sessions for our senior spokespeople and I have always received excellent feedback from each. He has a high energy and professional delivery style which provides motivation and helps build the confidence of our spokespeople. What we really like is his ability to tailor each session to each individual’s specialist subject, making it so much more relevant and as close to a ‘live’ media interview as possible.” ~ Emily Cullen, Head of Communications, Cardano
I cannot recommend Tom highly enough—his results are astounding. When I’ve introduced him to my clients they have been delighted, and I can see the lasting difference his training makes immediately with my coaches” ~ Emma Fowler, Founder, Areté Ventures
Tom delivers a refreshingly forthright and highly practical approach to engaging with the media whether in good times or when a crisis hits. I thoroughly enjoyed my own experience of being in the broadcast interview hot seat during our refresher training day and learned a lot, as did my colleagues. Running media training for senior leaders in our sector, Media Training Associates has been a real hit.” ~ Hilary McVitty, Head of External Affairs, Building Societies Association
We have worked with Media Training Associates since May 2016, carrying out training for all of our senior executives. Without exception, everyone who has attended the training found it extremely useful and enjoyable. From our most self-assured media spokesperson to those who are new to media relations, everyone has come away from training with a greater understanding of the media and feeling of confidence. Tom brings the subject matter to life, creating a challenging but highly enjoyable learning environment.” ~ Kara Eigl, Head of PR, EMEA at Nuveen (global real estate investors)
Tom has provided excellent media training and effective guidance to the various companies and senior executive teams that I have worked with over the course of the last 20 years. His ability to work with beginners and experts alike is fantastic and he always tailors his courses and advice so that it is relevant and appropriate.” ~ Vee Montebello, former Head of Corporate Communications, Old Mutual Wealth
I have worked with Tom and Media Training Associates for several years with a variety of clients from different sectors, and they have always done a fantastic job, giving confidence in media and presentation skills to even the most reluctant of candidates! What I particularly like is that they really tailor the session for the individuals concerned. Thoroughly recommended.” ~ Anita Turland, Head of Media Relations, Investec Wealth Management
