Media Masters Series

A structured programme for executives, spokespeople and communications professionals who need to perform under real media conditions — not just understand media theory.

Who it's for

C-suite executives, designated spokespeople, and senior communications staff who are, or are about to be, the public face of their organisation.

Learning outcomes
  • Handle an unscripted, adversarial, or hostile question without losing composure or message control
  • Bridge from a difficult question back to a prepared key message credibly
  • Understand how Ghanaian newsrooms select, frame and prioritise stories
  • Perform confidently on camera and in live radio/TV formats

Format: Cohort-based, practical, with recorded on-camera drills and individual feedback.

Indicative duration: 2-day intensive (cohort)

Facilitators: VALUECOMM senior facilitators

02

Corporate Storytelling Series

For institutions that have real impact to show but struggle to turn it into a story anyone outside the organisation actually wants to hear.

Who it's for

Communications teams, programme staff and leadership at organisations with genuine achievements that current reporting or messaging isn't capturing.

Learning outcomes
  • Identify which internal facts and data actually constitute a story
  • Structure an organisational narrative with a clear protagonist, stakes and outcome
  • Adapt one core story across formats — written, video, and live presentation

Format: Workshop-based, working directly with a participant organisation's own material.

Indicative duration: 1–2 day workshop

Executive Media Training

One-on-one or small-group preparation for executives ahead of a specific high-stakes media moment — a launch, an investigation, or sustained press interest.

Who it's for

Individual executives or a small leadership team preparing for identified, time-bound media exposure.

Learning outcomes
  • Develop and rehearse key messages specific to the moment at hand
  • Practise live interview formats with realistic follow-up questioning
  • Build personal on-camera and on-air presence

Format: Private sessions, scheduled around the executive's availability and the specific media event.

Indicative duration: Half-day to full-day, private

Crisis Communication

Preparation for the moment an organisation would most regret being unprepared — built around realistic scenario simulation rather than a policy document nobody reads until it's too late.

Who it's for

Leadership and communications teams responsible for an organisation's response during a reputational or operational crisis.

Learning outcomes
  • Stand up a functioning crisis communication response within the first critical hours
  • Assign and rehearse spokesperson roles before a real crisis, not during one
  • Draft holding statements and stakeholder communication templates in advance

Format: Scenario-based simulation exercises, followed by a reviewable crisis communication plan.

Indicative duration: 1-day simulation

Presentation & Public Speaking

For professionals who need to present with authority — to a board, a conference, a donor panel, or camera — and currently don't.

Who it's for

Managers, technical specialists and executives who present regularly but haven't had formal training in doing it well.

Learning outcomes
  • Structure a presentation around a single clear argument, not a slide-by-slide narration
  • Manage nerves and physical presence in front of a live or virtual audience
  • Handle audience questions, including hostile or unprepared ones

Format: Workshop with individual on-camera practice and feedback.

Indicative duration: 1-day workshop

  • Produce broadcast-standard packages across TV, radio and digital formats
