The perfect image and talk for the press!

Consciously in the picture with local, regional and national media and on social media

Grab the stage

The perfect image and talk for the press is a hands-on workshop to make your story and visual material 'press-ready'. Because when you know how to tell your talk and image for the press, you will succeed on that one networking event and on any stage you want to grab. Online or live, you tell your story with the right image, full of power and self-confidence 😀.

Entrepreneurs Linda has coached in the past managed to get in the media frequently with ease and at ease. One of them is Janine, a financial advisor who has been in the local, regional as well as national media since October and, as a speaker on not 1 stage, not 2, but no less than 3 stages, told her story with verve. She now has more than 5 publications online and offline and clients - literally - queued up for her.

Financial advisor Janine van Vliet received guidance and coaching from Linda Graanoogst and managed to get 5 publications and speak at 3 different venues, in front of 170 entrepreneurs among others, within 3 months. Result: an influx of clients and choice of who she wanted to work with. (Images: including Cooking with Figures, supplied)

Do you want that too? A continuous flow of clients and the choice of who you work with? Then sign up for this one-off workshop:
the perfect picture and talk for the press!

Photojournalist of the NRC David Galjaard and PR advisor and MediaTrainer Linda Graanoogst will be happy to help you, meaningful entrepreneur, on this day with the right look for your images, your portrait photo and your media pitch.
