…creating confident speakers

Giving a media interview or presenting at a conference can be a nerve racking experience. Too often corporate reputations suffer due to inexperienced or unprepared spokespeople.

Using current and former newspaper and television journalists, BBS trainers prepare you for contact with the news media in both positive and negative situations.

Individual and group presentation training can give you the confidence and technique to speak confidently in all forums.

BBS also provides tailored networking training sessions. Networking is something we all do, but in a lot of cases it is seen as a burden rather than an opportunity to raise your individual and organisational profile.

BBS is the State's only public relations consultancy to provide media training accredited by the Queensland Law Society. A half day session earns two CPD points.
