Why I know it works

I’ve unpacked how I’ve interviewed people for the last 35 years: as a reporter, presenter and producer at the BBC for more than two decades. Then, from 2011, as an independent consultant and content creator, helping organisations to articulate their value through the voices of their leaders, teams, clients and volunteers.

I know how nerve-racking it is to interview a major client on behalf of an organisation. Or high-profile movers and shakers who only have 10 minutes to spare. There’s a lot riding on those calls and my tips will help to build your confidence, so you can make the most of them.
