  • As a media coach, I receive a call or email every day asking for “just five minutes” of my time so I can explain everything needed to be successful on TV or radio. Of course, five minutes isn’t enough time to give any suggestions. Because I’ve been both a producer and a host for more than 30 years, I do understand the challenges in front of and behind the microphone and camera. It doesn’t matter how great your product, service, or message is; the only way you will get yourself on a program is if you are able to “give good show.” That means you must not only have a great hook; you must be able to pitch it with pizzaz and you must know your demographics. When you want to get media coverage, you are a sales person and not everyone wants what you are selling. Think like a producer. Ask yourself what will grab the audience for this particular show? What will bring in the ratings? What will provide what I call edutainment--education combined with entertainment with copious amounts of humor thrown in for good measure. Then create your “hook.”Never, never, never give up.

Keep in mind that no one was born a media star. It takes practice, patience, and perseverance. Don’t take your self too seriously, be able to laugh at yourself and know that failure is just fertilizer, the compost for your next garden.

And most of all remember that the media needs you as much as you need the media. Be valuable. Offer information. Be the STAR you ARE!

Break a leg and shine!
