“It’s not easy holding the attention of 200 fire fighters for two hours, but Tamara did just that with her engaging, informative, and practical media training. In addition to all the regular essentials when dealing with the media, Tamara provided critical, trauma-informed tips for supporting our members who are called upon to share their traumatic stories.”
“I left Tamara’s virtual media training feeling confident, prepared, and excited to forge new relationships with journalists. She is not only an expert communicator, but also someone with a deep understanding of the critical issues facing our members and police services more broadly. With her pre-existing insight into the first responder community, she was able to tailor training and messaging that was specific to our needs.”
