Your words have power—power to protect your reputation, inspire trust, and lead the conversation.
PacificWest Conference 2024
When the microphone is hot and the cameras start rolling, there’s no time to second-guess your words. Every pause, every glance, every word has the power to elevate your message—or sink it.
Calgary, the beating heart of Canada’s energy sector and a hub of innovation, demands leaders who can rise to any challenge, including the scrutiny of the media. That’s where I come in.
I’m Renu Bakshi, one of BC’s Top 500 Most Influential Business Leaders and expert media trainer with 35+ years of expertise as an award-winning journalist, anchor, and communications consultant.
I’ve trained executives, public figures, and healthcare leaders to not just survive media encounters but to master them.
Whether you’re responding to a crisis, addressing stakeholders, or announcing the next big move for your company, my media training in Calgary will prepare you to take control of the narrative and inspire trust.
Why My Media Training In Calgary Stands Out
Mine isn’t cookie-cutter coaching. My approach to executive media training and crisis communication coaching goes beyond surface-level tactics. I focus on crafting custom strategies that align with your personal goals and your organization’s message.
Our media training workshops are designed to prepare you for the unique challenges of Calgary’s industries. Whether you’re leading a global corporation or managing a grassroots initiative, I’ll tailor the perfect customized training to meet your unique needs.
My clients include top executives running billion-dollar companies, healthcare leaders protecting the public trust, and grassroots organizers making a difference—all mastering the art of communication to lead with confidence and impact.
“Renu is a true professional, vibrant and resourceful … she is no doubt a true communications expert!”
