Media and presentation training have become mandatory for business executives and professionals. As The New York Times has noted: "The chances of an executive getting through his or her career without facing the press are growing slim indeed…. If properly used as a tool, the media can enhance a company’s image and an executive’s career, but if improperly used, it can destroy them."

Business executives and professionals no longer have the luxury of letting someone else do the media interviews. Sooner or later, it's their turn. Doug Carlson prepares clients to excel in all media encounters, from routine interviews to crisis scenarios.

Again, experience is the difference. The best trainers have worked as a reporter, a corporate spokesperson and as a trainer/coach in their careers. Doug blends more than three decades of experience in these fields in a consulting package that is unmatched in Hawai`i. Dozens of client companies and organizations have benefited from this wealth of experience to enhance their personnel's media and presentation skills.

Training programs are designed with flexibility to meet the client's needs.  Half-day and full-day sessions include practical exercises to equip graduates with the skills necessary to perform well in interviews. An exceptionally effective presentation skills program reduces the training sessions to only 90 minutes each week, easily fitting into most executives' busy schedules.
