Transform from a hesitant interviewee into a composed, compelling media presence — on camera, on air, and on record.
The PressPREP Media Training Program is built for professionals who face cameras, microphones and journalists — and who cannot afford to stumble. Drawing directly from Tahir Ashraf's experience as a barrister, actor and media personality, this program equips you with the psychological composure, message discipline and technical camera skills required to perform with authority in any media environment.

I walked into my first live broadcast shaking. After PressPREP's Media Training, I walked into the next one looking forward to it. The mock interviews were brutal — and that is exactly why they worked.
Public Speaking Program
From boardrooms to TED stages — develop the command, clarity and magnetism of a world-class speaker.
Public speaking is the single most high-leverage communication skill a professional can develop. The PressPREP Public Speaking Program takes you far beyond 'presentation skills' into the territory of genuine oratorical command. Informed by Tahir's experience as a barrister delivering high-stakes arguments, a performer commanding live audiences, and a coach who has trained hundreds of professionals, this programme transforms how you inhabit a room.

I used to over-prepare and still feel underprepared. PressPREP flipped that entirely. I now speak from conviction rather than from script — and the difference is night and day.
Press Preparation Program
Walk into any press conference, briefing or media event fully prepared — and walk out with your narrative intact.
A press conference is not an interview — it is a performance with multiple adversaries, live cameras and a single opportunity to land your message cleanly. The PressPREP Press Preparation Program teaches the specific skills that only experienced media professionals and seasoned barristers understand: how to control a room of journalists, how to anticipate every question before it's asked, how to handle the ambush moment, and how to leave every press engagement with your narrative, your credibility and your composure completely intact. This is the programme built for high-stakes media moments.
- Prepare exhaustively for any press scenario
- Open press conferences with narrative authority
- Anticipate and prepare for every likely question

- Bespoke preparation per event / scenario
- 2-day intensive or rolling programme

They prepared me for questions I would have never anticipated. When a journalist went completely off-script, I had the tools to handle it gracefully. That is not something you learn anywhere else.
Leadership & Advocacy Program
Influence, persuade and lead — develop the strategic communication skills that distinguish great leaders from merely competent ones.
Leadership is fundamentally a communication challenge. The most powerful ideas in the world fail without the ability to articulate them with conviction, build coalitions around them, and advocate for them with strategic precision. The PressPREP Leadership & Advocacy Program draws from Tahir's dual expertise as a barrister — where advocacy is a rigorous professional discipline — and as a public figure whose work spans law, parliament and the arts. This programme is for leaders who need to move people: boards, policymakers, donors, the public and their own teams.
- Frame arguments that persuade decision-makers
- Build and communicate strategic vision compellingly
- Navigate stakeholder negotiations with authority
- Lead high-stakes difficult conversations
- Create a lasting leadership communication identity
- Senior executives and C-suite leaders

- Political candidates and elected officials
- Board members and institutional leaders
- 6-week structured leadership programme
- Weekly intensive sessions with Tahir Ashraf
- Real-world advocacy scenario simulations
- Stakeholder mapping and communication strategy
- Executive-level corporate delivery available
I came in as an activist. I left as a strategist. That shift — from passion to precision — is entirely due to the rigour PressPREP brought to every single session. My work changed fundamentally.
Personal Development Program
The internal work that makes every external program work — confidence, presence, mindset and the communication identity that is uniquely yours.
Every technical communication skill rests on a foundation of self — your confidence, your self-perception, your internal narrative and your ability to manage fear and pressure in high-stakes moments. The PressPREP Personal Development Program addresses the dimension that most professional training ignores entirely: the internal architecture of a powerful communicator. Drawing on Tahir's performer's understanding of vulnerability, a barrister's understanding of mental discipline and a coach's understanding of human psychology, this programme transforms communication from the inside out. Confidence is a skill. This programme teaches it systematically.
- Overcome fear, imposter syndrome and self-doubt
- Build repeatable, sustainable self-confidence
- Develop your authentic professional communication style
- Perform under pressure without psychological interference
- Transform your professional self-presentation completely
- Professionals navigating career transitions

Confidence is a skill, not a trait. That is the most important thing PressPREP taught me. And they gave me a repeatable system to build it deliberately — something I use every single day now.
