Communicate well wherever you appear.

The Broadcast Institute provides advanced presentation, media interview, business podcast and on-camera training for leaders, teams and media professionals across Ireland and the UK.

In the room, online, in the media, behind a microphone or in front of a camera: we train people to be clear, composed and worth listening to.

Founded and led by award-winning television and radio presenter, journalist and communications trainer Paul Connolly. We have trained leaders and teams from Dublin and London to Singapore, Abu Dhabi and New York.

Why organisations choose us

  • More than 500 senior leaders, executives and media professionals trained.
  • 25 years in television, radio and journalism, from live broadcasting to undercover investigation.

  • A written report after every session, so you and your organisation can see what changed.

What we train

Advanced presentation training

Pitches, keynotes, board meetings, webinars, panels and town halls.

Build the story. Sharpen the message. Deliver it so people listen.

Media interview training

Television, radio, print and online, in the studio, on location or down the line. Including crisis and hostile interviews.

Handle difficult questions, stay composed and say what needs to be said.

Podcasting for business

From first idea to finished series: concept, format, host training, interviewing and production.

Build authority with a podcast people choose to listen to.

On-camera training

Website videos, leadership updates, explainers, internal communications, LinkedIn and social media.

In a studio or on a phone, speak naturally, connect with the audience and sound like yourself.

Who we train

Organisations

Tailored training for leaders, teams and communications departments. One focused workshop, or Communications for Leadership, a single programme covering every situation in which your leaders represent the business.

Media professionals and newsrooms

Working broadcasters, journalists and content creators, and the newsrooms they work in. Interviewing, presenting, mobile and on-camera skills, and 360 consultancy across every platform.

Individuals

Private coaching for senior managers, founders and professionals. Come with one important presentation or build your skills over time.

How we train

  • Theory first, briefly. Then you do it.
  • Everything is recorded, reviewed and repeated until it holds under pressure.
  • Built on three pillars: physical, verbal and psychological.
  • A written report after every session.
