Media Training - Wade Workshop

About this Workshop

Who wants a glossy eye reaction when describing years of hard work and research? No one. Longtime reporter and anchor Stacey Brotzel will help you convey your message in terms people can understand and even get excited about. If you get media attention for your work, she can help you condense ideas in a short format palatable for all audiences. She will help people ‘buy in’ to your work and see your vision without all the jargon. It’s about connection and she will help you find your story so you can relate to a plugged in audience.
