Useful things to help you get going

The Richest Conversations email series

Whether you’re new to interviewing or just need nudges to keep going, this series will help, with weekly tips on things like:

How to prepare (but not over rehearse), so everyone feels comfortable in front of a laptop lens.
How to use news-bulletin editing techniques to decide which bits of your chats will make the biggest impact.
How to get the most of your recording by using the 'Birch Boxset Mindset': always alert to sequels, series or spinoffs.

7 Steps to successful listening

Listening affects the quantity and quality of the content you get from a short chat.

This free guide shows you how to set things up, so you give your next interviewee your undivided attention. Which means they’re more likely to relax (quality) and be more open (quantity). That means you’ll create lots more videos that really speak to your target audience.

When you sign up, you’ll also get access to my Richest Conversations series: weekly emails on how to build your interviewing skills and make the most of every video you record.
