Rave Reviews for Bill and Clarity!
I've never hosted a training for peers where people wished the training was longer, but that was exactly the case coming out of Bill's session with our team. He did an incredible job of making the content approachable, helpful, applicable to their roles, and they walked away with some really tangible skills and tools to apply to their work. The requests for more trainings with Bill are already coming in, and we couldn't be more grateful!

Great for all levels of speakers
As someone who has had regular experience talking to media and in public forums, I truly appreciated the up-leveling that Ken's training provided to further hone and improve my speaking to media. Ken used both practical advice from his experience as well as modern tools to to identify areas I could improve upon, I was grateful to have a training that didn't simply give me a basic 101 class but built from where I already was.

Just do it.
I'm a media training skeptic because I tend to believe in radical transparency, but Donna and Hannah will make a believer out of anybody. They definitely helped me consolidate and refine my messaging in a way that still felt a hundred percent authentic to me. My session with them was very helpful, and I feel sure I performed better because of it.

David Puente was a great coach in preparing for a Ted-talk style main stage moment. He provides great advice on stage presence, moments of engagement and script improvements for what the audience will take away. He was super positive and helped me hone my strengths but also be aware on blind spots and how those can perceived. I would work with him again and recommend him! He even followed up to hear how it went which was a really nice touch and showed he cared.

Exceptional Media Training experience with John Johnston
John’s media training was truly outstanding. His approach was clear, engaging, and incredibly practical. He struck the perfect balance between theory and real-world scenarios, giving me tools I could immediately apply in interviews, presentations, and public appearances.What stood out most was his ability to tailor the session to our specific roles and challenges — it never felt generic. John created a safe space to practice, make mistakes, and improve with honest, constructive feedback. Highly recommended for anyone looking to sharpen their communication skills and represent their brand more effectively in the media.

David Puente is a master of presentation prep
David was instrumental in helping me and several of our executives prepare for "TED Talk-style" presentations at a company leadership summit. He provided expert guidance on messaging, stage presence, and word choice—always with a focus on preserving our individual voices. David has a real gift for refining scripts, eliminating unnecessary words that dilute the message, and coaching delivery to land key points with impact. The experience was outstanding from start to finish. I highly recommend working with him!

David Puente is the absolute best!
David has been a really helpful mentor and advisor in my role! His training and support have increased my confidence and skillsets in my public-facing roles! I am grateful for our work together. The way he breaks down ideas into a simple and straightforward communication strategy is so valuable in my work! I really appreciate how patient, kind and attentive he's been as I grow in my skills! I would highly recommend Clarity Media training to anyone! Specifically, I would recommend David Puente because he's exceptional and has helped me easily expand into my roles!!

Top notch media training
Clarity's standard of media training is truly excellent. Jim Paymar led targeted, engaging, authentic, and highly valuable mock interview sessions on a niche and complex asset class. Our executives really felt that their time spent was worthwhile and enjoyed the structure of the entire session.

One of the best training sessions I’ve ever had in years!
Indeed it was a great session by Karen Koh, the seasoned, highly experienced and well-regarded trainer from the Clarity Media Group. In fact, it was one of the best trainings that I’ve experienced in many years. It’s full of essential and life-saving tips from preparing effective presentations to impactful delivery of it, and many more. All the real-life examples she showed made me awaken with dos and don'ts. The highlight was the live recording of my own mock-up presentation and replay to review on the spot, which again made me realize the area of improvement much clearer than ever. I appreciate this one-off training may not turn me into a flawless communicator overnight, but it truly helped me understand my shortcomings and the ways to get better with practices. Thanks so much again to Karen for organising the session with such rich content and strong empathy!

Presentation Training
The Presentation Training I took was very inspiring. The theories given are very practical and easy to understand and remember. I particularly found the presentation mock up exercise useful. It helped me reflect and apply what I learn in the training immediately in the exercise.

A remarkable staff retreat session!
The Clarity Media Group helped us create a memorable and impactful messaging session for our recent staff retreat on very short notice. The extraordinary Jodi Applegate provided our entire team with the insights and tools they need to effectively share information about the Human Rights work they do in the courtrooms, board rooms, and classrooms. Her interactive session was engaging, energizing, enjoyable, tremendously valuable, and greatly appreciated by all. Our sincere thanks to Jodi and everyone at Clarity Media Group!

Practical Exercises and Goal-Oriented Approach to Interviews
Melissa used a structure that helped reframe my approach to interviews. She had me think about a goal for interviews, and an approach for answering questions. While it was challenging to rehearse and then observe myself answering questions, this practice was extremely beneficial and valuable. I know that my television interview would not have gone as well without Melissa's support, guidance, and tips. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her training.

Personalized program creation
I have used Clarity for a couple of years now, and most recently gave them an out-of-the-box tough assignment. Melissa curated a bespoke training program for us, that she then delivered exceptionally well and with much success. I will continue to work with Clarity as I rate the professionalism of the team very highly.

Exceptional Media Training Experience with John and the Clarity Team
We recently hired a media training session provided by John and the Clarity team, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the quality and effectiveness of their training program. From the outset, John and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of our organization's unique needs and tailored the training to address those specific requirements.Throughout the session, John's vast experience and expertise in the field were shown through as he shared invaluable insights and actionable advice on how to navigate the media landscape with confidence. His engaging and dynamic presentation style made the training both enjoyable and informative, and his ability to create a supportive and interactive learning environment encouraged open communication and collaboration among our team members.The Clarity team's commitment to our success was evident in every aspect of the training, from the practical exercises and real-life scenarios they presented to the personalized feedback and guidance they provided to each participant. As a result, our team has not only gained essential skills for handling media interviews and public speaking engagements but also a renewed sense of confidence and preparedness for these critical interactions.We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional media training provided by John and the Clarity team and look forward to continuing our collaboration with them.
