“The training I received from Mike Nikitas in media relations, presentations skills, public speaking, and crisis management proved to be extremely valuable to me in my role as the President of the Mississippi State Medical Association. During the COVID-19 crisis, I was thrust into the public forum of how physicians would respond to helping the citizens of our state. Furthermore, as part of the Governor’s medical advisory team, I had to give television, radio, and newspaper interviews as well as manage our social media platform. I was and continue to be extremely grateful for the lessons that I learned from Mike during this challenging time.” J. Clay Hays, Jr, M.D President, Mississippi State Medical Association

The media training I received from Mike Nikitas was just what I needed, as I had not done such work before.  Mike was great in coaching me, as a complete beginner, into swiftly being more confident with the media – and I still use his lessons today.  The best bit about Mike – a TV personality in his own right! – was how professional and friendly he was.

Mike Nikitas led an excellent session for current students and alumni of the Brandeis University Heller School for Social Policy and Management Executive MBA Program for Physicians. His expertise on how to present medical issues to the media helped all of us improve our communication skills. He was encouraging and upbeat, supportive, and gave us many ideas about the best way to present our knowledge. His coaching and recommendations have already led to improved results.
