You may have known us previously as Media Manoeuvres, but to be much more representative of what we do each day, we have changed our name to Communication & Media Manoeuvres. But that is all we have changed – we are still the same people and we are still Australia’s leading specialist speaking, training and coaching organisation. 

We give leaders and spokespeople the skills to communicate with presence, power and persuasion when the stakes are high – when speaking and communicating with stakeholders and the media.

For over 20 years, we have trained many of Australia’s high-profile leaders and iconic companies. Our proof of success is the length of time clients stay with us – many during their entire executive careers. Our clients directly credit us as being a vital part of their successful career progression through their learned speaking abilities to connect, engage, and influence.

We work with corporate affairs, communications professionals, people and culture, and leadership learning & development teams to prepare leaders and spokespeople to speak with clarity and confidence.

Our Services

All services are available to be delivered as a workshop as part of your next conference, Board meeting or professional development event – from a keynote session or webinar to in-depth skills training.

Over many years and through teaching thousands of executives to build their executive presence and confidence in speaking skills, Communication & Media Manoeuvres has witnessed the direct benefit to careers and to the reputation of organisations our executive clients represent.

We combine international principles of executive and leadership education with proven training frameworks and experienced, accredited  industry trainers and coaches. Including internationally accredited ‘executive presence’ assessors and coaches.

We see our clients achieve outstanding results, internally and externally.

At Communication & Manoeuvres, we believe every action should make a positive impact. That’s why we are proud supporters of Buy One, Give One (B1G1) – a global initiative that transforms everyday business activities into opportunities to do good.

Through our partnership with B1G1, every time we deliver a training session, we contribute to carefully selected projects that create real and lasting change around the world. Whether it’s providing clean water to a community, supporting education for children, or helping to protect the environment, each program has a ripple effect far beyond the training room.

For us, it’s not just about building the communication and leadership skills of our clients. It’s also about knowing that the work we do together is leaving a wider legacy – one that improves lives and communities in meaningful ways.

We’re delighted to be part of the B1G1 movement because it aligns perfectly with our values: purposeful, people-focused, and committed to making a difference. When you choose us for your training, you’re not only investing in professional growth – you’re also helping to create a better world, one session at a time.
