Media Training In Edmonton

When the spotlight finds you and everybody is watching, your words become more than just responses—they define your legacy.

Press Conference

Whether you’re a corporate executive, a healthcare advocate, or a public figure in Edmonton, a single misstep in front of the media can cause significant damage to your reputation.

But what if you could control the narrative? What if, instead of fearing tough questions, you could use them to inspire trust and build advocates?

That’s where I step in.

I’m Renu Bakshi, recognized as one of BC’s Top 500 Most Influential Business Leaders, with 35+ years of expertise as a Media trainer, journalist, news anchor, and communications strategist. 

What Sets My Edmonton Media Training Apart?

In Edmonton, public figures and organizations face unique challenges in the media. With growing coverage across local news outlets like CTV Edmonton and Global News Edmonton, media interactions have the potential to reach a massive audience. Yet, many leaders still struggle to manage tough media moments effectively.

I’ve got a question for you: Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Your body language betrays your confidence.
  • A journalist twists your words and misquotes your message.
  • A surprise question throws you off guard, leaving you stumped.

If so, my Media Training in Edmonton will prepare you with a clear, strategic framework to navigate these media challenges with confidence and foresight.

“From research to crisis management, Renu knows how to add true strategic value, which in the loose world of consultants, is truly extraordinary. More than this, she’s simply a professional and the right person to know.”
