Media Training, Presentation Skills & Executive Communication Coaching
Helping executives, leadership teams and spokespeople communicate with clarity, confidence and authority - in the media, on stage, with clients, customers, staff and in high-stakes environments.
Dark Star provides specialist media training, presentation skills and executive communication coaching for organisations across the UK.
We work with senior leaders, subject-matter experts and corporate spokespeople to improve how they deliver messages under pressure - whether in broadcast interviews, investor presentations or internal communications.
Our training is practical, personalised and
grounded in real-world experience, helping clients develop presence, sharpen messaging and handle challenging questions with confidence.
With 25+ years experience in communication coaching, a track record of working with senior leaders in finance, tech, energy, retail, utilities and transport, BBC & ITV News backgrounds, Dark Star has a wealth of professional experience to help improve the way you come across.
We provide learning models, tips and techniques to help you understand how to maximise and enhance leadership communication – but the primary focus is always on practical exercises.
Every practical is filmed or recorded to be replayed, allowing for real-time feedback and coaching – you improve as the day progresses.
And Andy Hitchcock, our Managing Partner, distils our coaching approach in "The Heart of Communication" — a practical guide to sharpening your communication skills.
So, if you want to help your senior managers improve their team leadership, change management, pitches for new business, public speaking or media performance, please get in touch.
