Media Training Mississauga
Mississauga Leaders: Are You Prepared for the Spotlight?
Mississauga, home to some of Canada’s most influential corporations and advocacy groups, is no stranger to high-stakes scrutiny.
From corporate boardrooms to healthcare institutions, leaders here are expected to not only navigate complex challenges but also communicate their vision with precision and authority.
But what happens when the media spotlight turns on you?
One misstep during a high-profile interview or press conference can undermine years of hard work, putting your reputation—and your organization’s future—at risk.
The good news? You don’t have to leave your public image to chance.
I’m Renu Bakshi, an award-winning former journalist and communications strategist, one of BC’s Top 500 Influential Business Leaders, with over 35 years of expertise as a media trainer.
Why Media Training Matters in Mississauga
Mississauga is more than a suburb—it’s a powerhouse of corporate headquarters, healthcare innovation, and public advocacy.
With a media presence that extends from local outlets like the Mississauga News to national platforms like CBC and CTV, every word you say has the potential to influence public opinion far beyond.
Let me ask you:

- Are you concerned about journalists misrepresenting your words or taking your comments out of context?
If you’ve faced these challenges, my Mississauga Media Training Boot Camp will equip you with the skills, strategies, and confidence to navigate any media interaction seamlessly.
