The other week, we shared the results of our recent poll on LinkedIn asking: “Have you ever had to proactively correct a statement during a media interview?”
Here’s what our audience told us — and thank you to everyone who joined in!
78% said Yes — and it went well!
11% said Yes — but it caused some damage
11% said No — thankfully, it’d be hard to handle
0% said they’ve never been in that situation
These numbers speak volumes. Media interviews can be unpredictable — even seasoned pros find themselves navigating tricky moments. That’s why preparation, clear messaging, and media training matter more than ever.
At Communication & Media Manoeuvres, we understand how challenging it can be to stay composed and articulate under pressure. We’ve worked with countless leaders and executives, helping them master communication strategies to handle even the trickiest questions with confidence and clarity.
Proactively correcting a statement during a media interview requires skill and preparation. The key is to remain calm, acknowledge the error without sounding defensive, and seamlessly steer the conversation back on track. Through our tailored media training sessions, we provide actionable techniques that ensure your messages are delivered effectively, even in high-pressure situations.
We’re also thrilled to share some inspiring feedback from one of our satisfied clients who experienced a remarkable transformation after completing our media training. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with Lighthouse Foundation, and it’s an added bonus that they are pleased with the training.
