Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about leadership media appearance training from the news unless you reach them first. The first version of a story about appearance training tends to become the reference version. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this aspect of communications and media practice rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better leadership media appearance training is rarely technical. Ambition around the wider communications and media practice agenda outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme works equally well for those formalising appearance training for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants finish able to explain leadership media appearance training to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme converts appearance training from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the communications and media practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
