THE BIG INTERVIEW
Spencer has interviewed thousands of people over the last 30 years, including the richest and most powerful CEOs in the world, scientists working on amazing and complex technologies, and ordinary people with inspiring stories from across the globe.
He’s made it his mission to get the best out of his interviewees, and is often thanked for making the experience “more comfortable than expected”, “relaxed”, and sometimes
even “fun”.
But he’s also asked the hard questions and chased down details.
And, crucially, he’s taken the results into the edit, and chosen which parts get used, and which get discarded.
That means he understands everything about interview technique, from winning the journalist over, to making sure only the right messages make it to broadcast.
Spencer offers practical courses, with plenty of time to practise in front of the camera, for feedback, and for help fine-tuning your particular message.
STAGECRAFT
Public speaking, on-stage, in front of thousands of delegates who may or may not want to be there – it’s daunting.
Spencer has hosted hundreds of events, chaired panels, given keynotes, and even led an entire conference out of the venue and into another building after the fire alarms went off.
He has attended the best and the worst of events, and has practised winning over the most difficult audiences in the strangest of circumstances.
He’s developed some trade secrets that start before you say a word – before you even step on stage. They will carry you through your session, and guarantee you will be the most memorable speaker of the day.
For the right reasons.
STANDOUT STORIES
Most pitches and press-releases are ignored by most journalists, and for good reason. They’re badly written, dull and generic.
But there are ways to get your message across in simple terms, that cut through, and get noticed.
Spencer has taken on many different stories and turned them into something that works for different audiences. He can advise on how to craft a catchy, attention-grabbing story, and how to prepare it for broadcast.
