Richard Maxwell Communications

Become a more effective communicator

Richard Maxwell Communications is a Toronto based firm that provides exceptional, customized media training and presentation training for executives, government officials, other professionals, and individuals looking to advance their careers.

We offer two programs: Managing the Media and Presenting with Impact. We also offer both programs through online training.

Media Training

Get ready for your next media encounter. As former broadcast journalists, with decades of experience, we know how the media think and know how your words can make news. Our media training course will show you how to deliver your messages and respond to challenging questions while avoiding media quicksand.

Our media training program, Managing the Media, will help you:

• Learn the do’s & don’ts in dealing with the media

• Create powerful media messages

• Deliver concise, compelling soundbites

• Master the tactics to avoid media traps

• Discover ways to answer tough questions

• Communicate both good and bad news

• Learn how to stay calm & focused during stressful media interviews

• One-on-one on-camera coaching

Presentation Training

If just the thought of public speaking makes you queasy, you’re not alone. In fact, research shows that 73% of the population suffers from public speaking anxiety. Our presentation skills course will show you how to become a more relaxed, engaging speaker with proven, easy-to-use techniques that often produce immediate results.

Our presentation skills training program, Presenting with Impact, will help you:

• Look & sound like a leader

• Increase confidence & manage public speaking anxiety

• Become a more persuasive, dynamic public speaker

• Connect with your audience

• Project a stronger image with easy-to-use techniques

• Hone your executive presentation skills

Virtual Coaching

We’d love to meet with you face-to-face but, if that’s not possible, online coaching is a convenient alternative to in-studio presentation & media training in Toronto.

It’s a service we’ve been providing for many years now, even before the pandemic.

Online coaching can benefit those who:

• Are interested in enhancing their online presence

• Have an important virtual presentation coming up

• Need media training in a hurry

• Are working from home

• Don’t live in Toronto

Our media training and presentation coaching programs are fun, highly interactive, and tailored to meet your needs.

Sessions can be held at our studio in Toronto, Ontario, we can go to you or we can connect on Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, or any other virtual platform.
