Media training can be like pulling back the curtain in the Wizard of Oz - once you know how the media works and what journalists are looking for, it's much easier to get their attention, stay on message and achieve the headlines you want to see. ABC, also known as 'bridging', was just one of the techniques taught in our media training session for senior leaders with ex BBC editor Jess Carter. Our thanks to Pollen Street Capital for hosting the session, and all our brave participants for putting themselves through mock interviews and presentations on the day.
