Press Conference


Welcome to Winnipeg—where innovation meets resilience. As one of Canada’s fastest-growing hubs for business, healthcare, and public affairs, this city demands leaders who can rise above the noise and command the conversation.

I’m Renu Bakshi, one of BC’s Top 500 Most Influential Business Leaders and a media trainer with 35+ years of expertise as an award-winning journalist, anchor, and communications consultant. 

I specialize in preparing professionals like you to master the media spotlight and deliver your message with confidence and precision.

What Sets My Winnipeg Media Training Apart?

Winnipeg’s industries are diverse and complex, from healthcare to public services, energy to innovation. Leaders here face challenges that are as unique as the city itself. 

From local coverage by CTV Winnipeg to Global News Winnipeg, the media in this city can amplify your message to a wide audience. Yet, many still struggle with managing tough media moments effectively.

Media interviews are no longer just about answering questions—they’re about seizing opportunities. 

Do these struggles sound familiar?

My media training in Winnipeg equips you to handle even the toughest questions, avoid media traps, and stay in control of your narrative.

Whether you’re a CEO, a healthcare spokesperson, or a public figure, my media training ensures you can confidently manage every interaction with the media.
