IMMERSIVE TRAINING FOR…
Anyone who needs to make a high-stakes presentation – even if it’s to only a single person – benefits from presentation training. At MediaWorks, we specialize in individual and group training sessions for:
Regardless of your background, your type of presentation, or your audience, MediaWorks will customize a coaching solution based on our time-tested training philosophy.
Universally, the most difficult thing about public speaking is overcoming nervousness. Excitement before taking the stage actually heightens your connection with your audience. Being overly nervous interferes with your effectiveness as a speaker.
The greatest tools to prevent nervousness from eclipsing excitement are preparation and confidence. MediaWorks will provide you with plenty of both. Our comprehensive training sessions cover every element of a presentation, including:
And if you or your team only need help on some of the above, it’s no problem. That’s the benefit of fully customized presentation training.
Presentation training in a classroom can be extremely affordable because the cost is shared among many. But there’s a catch: The lessons often focus on other students, or generic concepts that may or may not apply to you. In a classroom setting, you can expect to receive minimal time – if any at all – to hone your skills with your own material. In short, classroom instruction is theoretical, not practical.
That’s why we never conduct public classes or seminars. We tailor our training specifically for you and your colleagues, company, agency, or cause.
Your goal is not to understand what makes a great presenter, but to become a great presenter. Likewise, MediaWorks is not in the business of “presentation instruction.” We are in the business of developing powerful communicators.
This is why MediaWorks exclusively offers immersive training. We tailor your sessions around your strengths, challenges, goals, audience, and content. We do this by assessing your skill level, providing expert direction and tools, filming you while you practice, offering feedback that is both supportive and productive, and allowing you to practice again. Our methods produce dramatic gains for every single client.
Powerful visuals can enhance your messaging and make your presentation unforgettable. But no one can be captivating while standing in front of a lackluster slideshow.
We’ll coach you on how to use projected text, images, or other visuals to add a compelling dimension to your presentations – and if you’re using your slide deck as a crutch, we’ll give you the confidence to get rid of it.
We’ve found that once our clients have invested in presentation training with us, we become invested in them. So, while some companies charge by the minute for post-training consultation, we participate in your continued advancement through post-training follow-up. We’ve come to understand that an ongoing relationship with our clients benefits everybody. Contact us for details.

Since founding MediaWorks Resource Group in 2001, Mark Bernheimer has been empowering clients with the skills and strategies to deliver their messages clearly and memorably.
Mark has trained thousands of clients ranging from corporate communications officers to C-suite executives, from professional athletes to Hollywood celebrities, and from police chiefs to congressional candidates.

Fresh from those experiences, Mark founded MediaWorks with a mission of teaching clients to “cut through the clutter” with profoundly successful media and general communication strategies.
Mark is frequently called upon as a keynote speaker for public relations associations and other professional groups, and he is a contributing columnist for PRSA’s Strategies and Tactics publication.

One-on-one training sessions afford maximum personalized attention in a private learning environment. These half-day sessions are ideal for thought-leaders, entrepreneurs, or corporate executives who wish to be trained separately from their staffs.
For two or three participants, half-day group training offers the best of both worlds: highly personalized training with a team dynamic.
Our full-day group sessions offer the greatest flexibility at the most cost-effective rate. We can train everyone together as a team or, if scheduling is a challenge, divide the day into smaller sessions so that no single participant needs to break away for the full six hours.
