MEDIA TRAINING, COACHING & CONSULTING FOR CELEBRITIES & PUBLIC FIGURES

Ruth prepares top celebrities and public figures to manage the intense scrutiny inherent in today’s media environment. Through her celebrity media training programs, Ruth readies clients for any public appearance or promotion opportunity, whether broadcast, print, or online. Her unique and thorough approach to celebrity media coaching guarantees they become comfortable and confident fielding questions and are never surprised or caught off-guard. In addition, Ruth’s background and expertise in public speaking and interpersonal communication makes media interview training interesting, productive, and fun.

Ruth has media trained international public figures who are not fluent in English, Oscar winning movie stars who are fiercely and justifiably protective of their personal lives, on controversial entertainment projects, with directors and screenwriters who must promote and defend their work, and with young celebrities whose experience may be limited.

Ruth’s celebrity media coaching system includes processes and principles that produce the best chance of success:

RESEARCH: Media training for celebrities begins with careful and thorough review of all existing press and any other background material. This can also include screening films or programs, attending theatrical events, and reading books.
