Media Training in Montreal

When the camera rolls and the microphone swings your way, the pressure is on. Every word you say has the power to build your reputation—or break it.

Media Training Montreal

The media doesn’t play by the same rules as everyday conversation; it’s a high-stakes battlefield where unprepared players rarely win.

But what if you could flip the script? What if, instead of fearing the spotlight, you learned to control it? That’s where I come in.

I am Renu Bakshi, BC’s Top 500 Most Influential Business Leaders. I have 35+ years of expertise as an awarded journalist/anchor and in media training and crisis management.

From CEOs in Montreal to healthcare leaders across Canada, I’ve helped some of the country’s brightest minds not just survive media scrutiny but also thrive through it.

Why My Training Stands Out

I don’t deliver off-the-shelf solutions. As a media trainer with decades of experience, my training cuts through the noise, diving deep into the challenges you’ll face in the media spotlight.

Each session is tailored to your specific goals, focusing on mastering not just what to say, but how and when to say it.

You’ll walk away equipped to face media interviews with confidence, turn tough questions into opportunities, and tell your story in a way that inspires trust and builds advocates.

“Renu’s workshop is the best I ever attended. I highly recommend having Renu on board. Learning how crisis communication should work opened my eyes. She is extremely smart and professional and stands out with her charismatic personality.”
