An international pharmaceutical company...
A leading enzymes company that’s branching out into new areas asked HarveyLeach to train their international managers so that they could explain more clearly the science behind their work
“Great for understanding the different types of interviews – allaying fears through practice”
“Excellent preparation for TV and radio work”
“Could not have been better”
A leading pharmaceutical company turned to HarveyLeach for the media training for their top brand managers.
“Great experiential learning”
“Very useful and practical tips on how to deal with different situations facing media interactions”
A leading pharmacy chain, planning the opening of a major new branch, turned to HarveyLeach to train all their managers involved in the launch.
“Have benefited significantly from attending”
“Very enjoyable and informative and very well facilitated”
“An excellent morning!”
Following a call from the Canadian branch of one of our international pharmaceutical clients, HarveyLeach sent two tutors and a cameraman to Toronto. Day One covered the basics. Day Two put them through a breaking crisis.
“The course was amazing!”
“The most realistic media training I have ever gone through”
“Better than anything we have available here in Canada”
The two executives of a new international medical foundation spent two days with HarveyLeach tutors ahead of the foundation's public launch. The first day focussed on writing skills and getting across in clear, jargon-free language how the foundation intended to improve health and health services around the world. On the following day we put these key messages to the test at a mock news conference and in a series of television and radio interviews.
"Excellent enthralling experience"
"Very good - intense and interactive hands-on training"
How to tackle the global trade in counterfeit drugs was at the centre of a course we ran for an international pharmaceutical company. Its counterfeit drugs unit is receiving an increasing number of requests for media interviews. Experience gained during the training is now to be fed into a media response plan that the unit is drawing up.
"Excellent - good skills practice, supportive and constructive feedback"
"Practical experience, professionally delivered, well-structured"
A High Street pharmacy chain needed to get across very important information about the changing role of the pharmacist. There was a risk that the public might misunderstand the changes, and feel less secure about the advice they were receiving. We used a series of interviews to make sure that a correct, simple and reassuring message was delivered.
"Great learning experience"
"Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and encouraging tutors"
"I feel much less daunted about carrying out an interview"
"Well planned and professionally run"
A multinational pharmaceutical group had a problem - to launch an exciting new use for a well-established drug simultaneously around the world. The answer - a one-day brain-storming meeting at Vienna airport, using HarveyLeach's communications expertise to frame and rehearse a series of responses which would explain the complex science simply - and ensure the same message was delivered everywhere in the world.
"The tutors have huge expertise and the interactive part was very useful"
"Straight to the point, realistic in terms of the situation being catered for"
"Very helpful and well organised"
Very encouraging results from trials of a life-saving medicine prompted an international pharmaceutical company to request a training course just ahead of a big medical conference. The course focussed on how to explain in a concise, reassuring, jargon-free way how millions stood to benefit from the medicine. Company experts who might be collared by journalists attended the training, along with press officers.
"The tutor was very professional and experienced"
"Lots of good advice and assistance"
An international pharmaceutical company turned to HarveyLeach for media training shortly before a major industry conference in North America. Participants wanted training ahead of expected media interviews about medicines undergoing trials. Training in presentation skills and handling analysts also featured. We were able to help with developing key messages. This was just two days before they flew to the States, so the messages were fresh in their minds.
"Excellent - tough, but honest and constructive feedback"
"Professional, authoritative, engaged me throughout"
Within two weeks the same company called us back for training on a new medicine they were launching.
"Very useful practical exercise. Plenty of key learnings for me to take away"
"Very good, very challenging, made us think about how we phrase science and turn it into layman's language"
