I've been anchoring, reporting and hosting on television since 1978 and over the years I've been coached many times.

A few consultants were helpful, but most of these sessions seemed like a waste of time. Most coaches lacked any significant on-air or teaching experience and offered only generic recommendations that could apply to anyone in any market.

When I started my coaching company I was determined to offer something of value. My teaching philosophy developed over 10 years on the faculty of the Annenberg School for Communication at University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

I offer individual tape critique coaching sessions as well as station-wide packages. You can get started on your individual session now, or contact us for more information about setting up a custom package for your entire newsroom.
