Specialism Conveying the Complex

One area Angie specialises in is getting clients to convey complex information to an audience in a clear, interesting and succinct way. This could be a Phd researcher presenting a scientific paper for a farming audience, a financial analyst translating spreadsheet data for a non-financially literate person in a way they understand or conveying medical information in a clear and compassionate way.

Crisis Management

Ocarina’s team specialises in preparing for crisis-management media interviews. You will learn how to convey relevant information in a concise way so your side of the story is heard. We have run simulated press conference, Dail Committees and doorstep interviews with amazing results.

Our Secret

Practice Out Loud with guidance. When people see you perform well on TV or hear you on radio, read about you in the paper or online they can see for themselves that you know what you are talking about. This builds trust in you and in what you have to say. Through training and practice and a solid media performance you can become the ‘go to’ person to connect to and do business with.

There are techniques you can learn and mental attitudes you can adopt. You always need to ‘practice, practice, practice’ as you would with any task you would like to be good at. This is where Ocarina’s seasoned media trainers excel. We let you practice and learn in a safe space.

Training can be done on a one-to-one basis or with a small class group.
