If
there was going to be a better introduction and insight in to the workings
of today’s broadcast media then I cannot think of one. And I have now done
several sessions with other trainers. From the outset Steve & Caroline were
professional, focussed and had tailored a program to meet the individual
needs of my colleagues as set out in the brief. Their understanding and
essentially, how they developed the confidence and stature of the team in
the different scenarios to cope with all that was given to them was an
outstanding professional transformation. I would now have no worries in
placing these people in front of a camera or microphone as the voice of
our organisation in any situation.

24 full day training days were delivered between May and
December 2008 to over 250 delegates from Watch Manager level to the Chief Fire Officer - who was delighted with the training.
Steve and Caroline's style and direction has provided all important industry insight, and media interview techniques.
The positive impact is already evident in the increased number of officers willing (indeed wanting) to be interviewed, and
the quality of quotes being given . The Le Fevre's training package and service delivery were highly
professional and very effective, and we would not hesitate to utilise Steve and Caroline in any future training courses."

It was the most useful media training event I have
attended. It was very practical, pragmatic and challenging. Steve and
Caroline truly understand their marketplace and really developed us as
individuals, so that, in a short space of time, our approach and styles
became “media attractive”. Already, thanks to their training and direction,
we have secured much more air time.

The course was fantastic! My colleagues and I had
a great day and learnt so much. It's definitely one of the best courses
I've ever done. Steve and Caroline were professional, prepared and positive
- we felt in very safe hands and I'd certainly use them again. We're
looking forward to using our new found confidence and skills

The day was expertly tailored to our needs. Steve
and Caroline had researched our business and created realistic scenarios for
us to face. The training they gave us was first class and the difference in
our media performances ‘before and after’ was amazing to see.

Steve & Caroline, Just a quick note to thank you. It was the best “ training” I
have had post- qualification. I was a little apprehensive and you immediately put me at ease.
Your enthusiasm made it all the more enjoyable.

Having
worked with Steve and Caroline on a 2 day media training project I found
them to be extremely professional and inspiring. Their training style was
excellent. In a very short space of time they had converted a nervous and
media shy group of people into six confident individuals with a newly found
talent for tackling any media opportunity.

The course gave us really
useful and practical advice, exactly tailored to our needs. The
training scenarios
were extremely realistic, and the techniques we learned certainly boosted our
confidence levels and made us
think more clearly about how we can get the best out of interviews.

I only have positive things to say about the
course. Steve and Caroline, immediately put you at ease. Their experience
was invaluable because they knew exactly what they were talking about and
even when you had done something wrong in an interview, they were very
supportive. The group worked extremely
well ...and I came away feeling a lot more confident.

Caroline and Steve have done
several councillor development sessions for us on media skills and 'speaking
in the council chamber'. As trainers delivering sessions for councillors,
they have the perfect combination of being experts in their own field and
having in-depth knowledge and awareness of current political issues. This
puts them in a class of their own. We've had extremely positive feedback
from councillors about the sessions but, more importantly, the impact of the
sessions has been noticeable in terms of improved performances in public
speaking and media interviews. They're worth every penny!"

I just can't tell you how challenging
and important the day was. My respect and thanks go
Caroline and Steve who were incredibly professional and simply did one of
the best sessions
I have ever attended. The lessons are lasting, the impact was huge and it
was all brought together
in a seamless but profound way. Whatever we paid them it was well worth it.

Steve and Caroline were very professional in their
approach and delivery. The workshop took me through several stages...Raw fear, humour, tentative and confident. I would very much welcome a
follow-up.
It was Excellent!

Just a quick line to express our delight at the media training for our elite players.
We held off until we had fully researched the marketplace.
Our players were impressed by the professionalism of the day. We look forward to continuing the programme for all our elite
clients and the younger generation of players being cultivated for graduation to elite ranking.

It was so good….. in fact I did an interview with the Daily Mail yesterday, and the result will be in the copy! I thought I knew quite a bit before I started and realised that afterwards I had known nothing at all! Very worthwhile, excellent presenters - good cop, bad cop was excellent - kept everyone in the frame. Very good indeed and would highly recommend it!
