Public Relations: How to Be a Government/PIO Spokesperson (Udemy.com)

This course had some interesting tips that I hadn't considered before. As a government professional who does media interviews already, I think this helped me further improve my skills. I really liked how each video was a bite size portion of the information, so after watching I could reflect on the new information and I could could immediately apply it. Areas for improvement - I think this course would benefit from an overhaul and restructuring. Even though I am familiar with most of this information, I found some of it to be completely out of order to how I would expect to recieve the information. An example is that the introduction to TJ is on video 66 I think, when it should've been number one. I think a helpful way to arrange the info would be to start with how things would flow naturally in a work environment. An example would be the first set of videos should be what happens before the interview, such as structuring your three key ideas, then the next part should be forming soundbites, then the interview itself (how to sit, hands etc). Basically a cradle to grave way to present the information. Additionally, I really think this series would really shine if actual examples were provided. So lets say were on the soundbite portion. Maybe after providing the info, like what is a soundbite, at the end of the video have TJ say something like "now lets look at this example." Then play a short 10-30 second clip from a news interview TJ or someone else did that displays how it is put into practice. There are more than a few times where the video ended that I was still unclear on specifically what he was trying to tell us to do, and a real life example would've completely made it easier to digest and understand. Hopefully that was helpful. Great course TJ!

Good match, I really enjoyed ai clone of the walker, really bettered my understading , and developement, learned about ideas, topics, etc. Really helped me understand about the field, thank you tj walker for the opportunity. I will be using ai clone again and I am interested in how I can improve my performance as a public relations: etc. I would certainly give good word of mouth for this course and I am very interested in reading your books or taking further courses about topic. I saw a real difference in me from the very start of course. I began to began clean start, took about year to a year in a half. Was hard to follow from the start but with my other studies and developement from the past year or so all becomes clear concise ,now even easier to comprehend. I hope in the future I can do anything to leave a lasting impression to say influence for you, the course was very influential on my life thank you so much

I have been facing media persons since long.. this course would diffidently boost and work as a capacity building tool. As being from a farflung area, i have no other learning tools or source other that such online course.. indeed very informative..thanks

TOP NOTCH ADVICE and CONTENT. Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes on the ball. Watch your mouth, and how u phrase your words. EXCELLENT lecture, more real life situations and examples will enrich the calibre of this course. Well presented. Keep up the good work.

These advises and techniques are gems, a public administration officer or PIO should have. Often times being the face of an organization puts tremendous stress and pressure to the representatives causing immediate resignation or displacement whenever interviews or Q&As go wrong. This whole course dives into the specifics and roundabouts of such interviews and conferences.

It was a good match for me. I learnt every petty piece of stuff like makeup is significant in the interview as well as controlling one's own mouth is pretty much important instrument to manipulate the interview. But in some cases, I just felt that some points of this course could be clarified more by adding real-life interviews that indicates our erroneous response to the questions asked by the reporters.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced and well-structured yet entertaining course. Thank you TJ! Hopefully, with practice, I can be just as comfortable and calm in any situation as you are. I will also suggest everyone follow TJ Walk on social media i.e Facebook, youtube etc, (and Tik Tok of course), he shares a one minute bit size habit changer video every day which has been very inspirational for me in the morning (due to time differences). Again, thank you TJ! Stay in touch!

This course has broaden my knowledge on how to frame, create my own media message, how to have a positive media message and also how to make my message more interesting to reporters by effectively responding to questions from media.

Very relevant tips for looking the best in camera. I guess make-up tips for men are also in place as very often men don't really imagine how bad it looks when they look shiny and red on TV. The only thing is that the lectures are quite short - as soon as I get really into the topic, it's over.

I have had some media training and this course has, so far, exceeded my expectations. Touches on everything from style and presentation to the various essential professional skills. The expert training and advice( how to develop, compose, and deliver messages) will help me reach the next level.
