Do you want to deliver a brilliant interview every time you speak your piece, whether you have 5 minutes on the phone with NPR or 9 hours of filming a documentary in the wind and rain?

Have you ever been annoyed, frightened or upset by an interviewer who seems to know your topic better than you do, confronted you, and in the final piece misquoted you -- or completely left you out of a story you worked hard for?

Do you feel the need to control your message, but don't feel like you can pull it off without sounding canned?

Wish you could learn to deliver an artful sound bite? Have you struggled to find your own authentic, powerful voice to overcome the drumbeat of opposition or drown out the din of the same old stuff from the choir?

Spokesperson training will teach you how to talk so people will listen, from the basics of messaging structure, to all the way through to finding your center and maintaining authority in the toughest of situations.

Haven Bourque has influenced and inspired spokespersons, CEOs, entrepreneurs and authors, business and non-profits both large and small to transform their words into compelling, effective stories. She'll teach you to be comfortable, confident and controlled, so that when you talk, people will listen.

Whether you're a natural performer who sparkles in front of the TV camera, a serious expert who is deeply offended by the very concept of a sound bite, or somewhere in between, Haven can help you strengthen your skills, conquer your weaknesses and bring out your best.

Haven will teach you to polish your messaging delivery, volley back with bulletproof answers to hardball questions, craft a ringing sound bite, glue your audience to their chairs with the intensity of your story, and keep a wildly diverse spectrum of writers -- from investigative journalists to student reporters to savvy bloggers -- coming back for more.
