Media Training Services

Yes& CommCore provides media training workshops, studio training, and consulting – in person or virtually – so you and your team can create a response that is fast, flexible, and factual. “Companies can get stalled or bogged down on how to release a simple statement,” Yes& CommCore VP Dale Weiss told NPR Here & Now’s Robin Young. “By that time, things can get so far ahead of you that it’s impossible to catch up.”

“… the Media course has got to be the best instruction I have ever participated in  – the instructors, facilitators, course content, videotaped interviews and “stars and wishes” input, as well as fellow course participants were all awesome!”
