"I retained Rich Klein in 2009 and 2010 to media train members of the SUNY at New Paltz administration, including the college president and interim president. Rich did extensive research, devised great questions for their mock interviews and videotaped the entire process.
"He then wrote detailed audits that gave valuable advice about how they could improve on messaging and presentation. He also ensured that our officials became better equipped to respond effectively to critical audiences in a crisis situation. I highly recommend Rich for media training executives for regular interviews and for crisis communications training."
