Interview
Moderator Cheryl McPhilimy (McPhilimy Associates)
Once you gain the media’s
attention, you’ll need the skills to make the most of your experience “on the
record.” The post-dinner presentation guides you through the ins and

anticipating hard questions to shaping the conversation rather than being led
through it, you’ll acquire the tools you need to be a strong public ambassador
for your company or cause in every interview.
