Media Training Tip: Avoid the Bad Quote

https://vimeo.com/61970545?fl=pl&fe=vl

When a reporter asks a tough question, your first move shouldn't be to talk — it should be to pause.

That quick pause gives you a moment to:
Breathe
Collect your thoughts
Deliver a clear, controlled response

In media interviews, what you say matters — and how you say it matters even more. A thoughtful pause can mean the difference between a powerful message and a headline you didn’t intend.

Train yourself to pause — it’s a simple technique with powerful results.

Nervous on camera and can’t stop fidgeting? Try this simple trick:
Grab a pen.
Hold it between your fingers and let it gently twirl. It gives your nervous energy somewhere to go—and your brain gets the message:
“I’m nervous, but I’m in control.”

Small move. Big impact.

🔹 Inhale for 3 seconds
🔹 Hold for 3 seconds
🔹 Exhale for 3 seconds
