How do you make them listen?
MEDIA & PRESENTATION TRAINING
After years of telling other people’s stories, I’ve made it my mission to help you tell your own with clarity, confidence and impact.
My media and presentation training goes far beyond the basics of “how to do an interview.” This is a bespoke offering tailored to you or your brand, designed to sharpen your message, strengthen your delivery and ensure you show up powerfully across every platform.
From television, radio and podcasts to in-person presentations, keynote speaking and panel appearances, I equip you with the tools to craft your narrative, command the room and connect with any audience. Because in today’s landscape, your story needs to work just as well on stage as it does on screen.
Combining practical frameworks with real-time rehearsal and honest feedback, the training ensures you’re match fit for proactive announcements, reactive interviews and high-stakes moments alike. The goal isn’t just competence, it’s confidence. So that whether you’re facing a live audience, a journalist or a challenging question, you remain composed, credible and completely in control.
Training includes:
Comprehensive, tailored theory session
1:1 Practical session with live feedback
Understanding the new media landscape and various platforms
Crafting your key messages
Storytelling skills
Presentation skills for online and in person
Navigating difficult questions
How to come back from a slip

Case studies and examples
“Wilhelmina was great at elevating our team’s skills to the next level – getting them comfortable about talking about complex economic trends to media in a clear and understandable way. She ensured the team could distil things down to a simple message and delivering that clearly. The team was much more comfortable engaging with the media after Wilhelmina’s training.”
Brad Olsen - CEO and Principal Economist, Infometrics
“H&B x Wilhelmina Shrimpton delivered an extremely impressive media training session for our team. They worked with us to tailor the day to our people and their specific portfolios and experience and then provided us with a very detailed, well thought out combination of theory and practical coaching. Wilhelmina brought along a professional camera person and the whole ‘set up’ so our team could practice in ‘real’ conditions and she then spent time playing back and critiquing a ‘dummy’ interview, before going through a second recording to implement feedback. She also took time to explain the latest in the ever-changing media landscape and give us practical tips on how to get the best out of our proactive content. Our exec team were unilaterally impressed and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend H&B x Wilhelmina Shrimpton.”
