The spotlight is on. The applause has finished. The camera is rolling. You are live, either on TV or in front of a large crowd. The nerves are real, and the stakes are high.
During this talk, Melissa Harris, the CEO and founder of M. Harris & Co. and a former Chicago Tribune business columnist, will provide introductory media training on how to talk on live TV or in front of a large audience. Live TV is the toughest communications forum on earth; if you can conquer this, you can conquer anything.
