About Me
I'm Paola Buonadonna, a London-based former broadcast journalist and communications professional. For the past twelve years I've been working with experts and campaigners in various fields who seek to sharpen up their message for a wider audience. I'm particularly passionate about boosting the confidence of female experts and campaigners, so that more diverse perspectives are represented in the media.
My Services
I cater to organisations eager to fulfil the potential of their female experts, campaigners, managers or stakeholders as part of their internal training or their Continuing Professional Development plan, as well as to individuals who wish to boost their broadcast media skills. I'm available for one-to-one consultations and workshops, in presence and online. All sessions are tailored to your requirements and I will make myself available to you for post-session tips and catch-ups. Contact me today to tell me what you need!
Confidence building
Drawing from my own broadcasting experience I will help you to demystify the media, explore your reservations and fears and find your voice.
Translating expertise
With role-play and mock interviews I will help you translate your expertise and lived experience into media-friendly language and sharpen your message for maximum impact.
Broadcast interview tips
I will share with you my tried and tested broadcast interview tips to help you prepare for - and shine through - radio and TV interviews, both pre-recorded and live.
