“Two days after Paula’s coaching, my interview with Channel 4 News in the UK went viral on social media with more than 100 million views, making it the most watched clip ever produced by Channel 4. Within just 20 minutes Paula’s media training opened my eyes to ways I could be even more effective in spreading my message of happiness. With her keen eye and firm but friendly manner she helped me undo years of previous media training that wasn’t working. I’ve been much more comfortable and polished on air thanks to Paula’s guidance.”

“Paula Rizzo is the media trainer you want and need NOW! I worked with her in preparation for a book launch. She got me in shape so fast it made my head spin. I went from a media-naive, quiet, booky MD who didn’t look at the camera to a confident, reassuring expert ready to answer any question with a smile. Huge thank you to Paula.”

“I worked with Paula and somehow she’s made a 180° change out of me! After a recent segment, someone said, “You’re a natural up there.” Little did they know, that it was the result of working with Paula. Using my voice as a medium was so foreign, uncomfortable, and clunky, especially in a live setting. I was not a natural. Paula has helped to give me a format for communicating concisely and comfortably while still being myself. It’s impossible not to improve under her care.” 

“I did media training with Paula to prepare to launch my debut novel. She is an absolute godsend. For context: I’ve worked in marketing and PR, so I can evaluate our media sessions as both an author and a marketer. Paula’s help has been invaluable, and I always come away from our sessions feeling excited to tackle my next challenge. Seriously, just work with her.

“As a book publicist, I work with writers who are more comfortable behind the screens of their computers than in front of the screen of a camera. My clients have come to me post-media appearances to tell me that ‘Paula Rizzo works magic.’ Paula Rizzo has transformed my writer clients from unsure to confident. She is the key to giving clients the tools they need to succeed, whether it be in a media interview or a public speaking event. In her sessions, Paula works through talking points, body language, tips and tricks to appear comfortable and sure of oneself, and more. For someone who coordinates media all day long, Paula has been a life-saver — she makes my job easier, and I will always be grateful.”

“Paula shared an illuminating Media Training 101 presentation with our publicity, marketing, and editorial teams. Her talk covered everything from best practices for coaching authors, to defining key messages, to preparing for difficult questions, and learning to control the media interview. Her advice was on-point and her talk elicited rave reviews.”
