Our Executive Team
Learn from the best.
The key to our success is our people. We have achieved outstanding results through our highly experienced, accredited executive trainers, who are based Australia-wide.
- They are contemporary former journalists, corporate communications specialists and professional speakers.
- We choose them for their training qualifications, dynamism, passion and for their own relevant skills backgrounds and professional track record.
- We have award-winning keynote speakers, corporate communicators and Walkley and other prestigious award winners, reporters, presenters, anchors and foreign correspondents, who have represented all facets of the media from television, radio, print and digital, as well as having reported on a wide range of business sectors and industries.
- Our media trainers have been associated with some of the country’s defining and historical media moments.
- We align our trainers’ corporate and government experience and media expertise with each individual client’s business and their wider strategic objectives.
All Communication & Media Manoeuvres trainers sign confidentiality agreements and are not currently working in the media.
Should any of our trainers be doing any freelance work in the media, we will inform clients before training is commissioned.
