Unlock the power of precision in your media interviews with the unrivaled expertise of Dorothy Crenshaw from Mod-Op. As host Peter Woolfolk launches the discussion to explore the critical strategies for shaping your narrative, you'll learn how to come to any interview armed with your key points, ready to handle curveball questions with grace.
