Media Training Oman | Executive Coaching in Muscat and Across the Sultanate
Oman's senior leaders — in energy, water, infrastructure, financial services and government — are increasingly called upon to communicate with domestic and international media audiences. The ability to do so with authority, composure and clarity is a skill that needs to be built before the camera is on, not after.
Mayfair Media has delivered executive media training in Muscat for senior leaders across Oman's most significant sectors. Our trainers are Greg Tanner and Sarah Forster — veterans of Bloomberg, BBC, Sky News and ITV News, with more than 40 years of combined experience at the highest levels of international broadcast journalism.
We travel regularly from our Dubai base to deliver sessions in Muscat and across the Sultanate, working on-site with clients at their offices or at a location of their choosing. We have prepared leaders in Oman's energy, water and infrastructure sectors for high-pressure media environments, from international broadcast interviews to domestic communications and crisis scenarios.
Every session is built around the specific environment the individual will face — not a generic off-the-shelf programme. Whether you are preparing for a Bloomberg interview about an infrastructure project, a domestic press conference or a sensitive stakeholder briefing, we build the training around the real situation.

What happens in a session
Every programme is tailored to the individual, the organisation and the specific media environment they are likely to face.
Message Development
Before any camera is switched on, we work with you to sharpen your key messages, identify vulnerabilities and develop clear, concise answers that hold up under scrutiny. We think like journalists — because we are journalists.
Realistic Interview Simulation
We put you in front of a camera and conduct a genuine simulated interview — calibrated to the specific pressure and format of the environment you will face, whether domestic or international, Arabic or English language.
Playback and Detailed Coaching
We review the footage together — examining body language, composure, message clarity and delivery. This is often where the biggest shifts happen. Clients see exactly how they come across on camera, frequently for the first time.
Practical Techniques That Stay With You
We give you specific, repeatable methods for handling difficult questions, bridging to your key messages and recovering when an interview moves in an unexpected direction — skills you can deploy instinctively, under pressure, without thinking.
Built around the moments that matter most
We prepare senior leaders in Oman for the full range of high-stakes communication environments.
Energy & Infrastructure
Oman's energy and infrastructure sectors attract significant international media attention. We prepare spokespeople to handle technically complex subjects with clarity and authority across both broadcast and investor audiences.
International Broadcast
Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, the BBC and the Financial Times. When international media come to Oman, your spokespeople need to be ready. We prepare leaders for the specific demands of global broadcast journalism.
Crisis Communications
Reputational incidents, regulatory issues, operational emergencies. We help senior leaders stay composed, credible and in control when the pressure is at its highest — before and during a crisis.
Government & Sovereign
Ministerial briefings, public policy announcements and stakeholder communications that must be delivered with precision to domestic and international audiences simultaneously.
Arabic-Language Media
Al Arabiya, Oman TV and domestic platforms. We prepare spokespeople for the specific demands of Arabic-language broadcast alongside English-language media preparation.
Financial & Investor Communications
As Oman continues to attract international investment, its senior leaders are increasingly asked to make the case for the country's economic direction to a global audience of investors and analysts.
Training in English and Arabic
For many leaders in Oman, communicating with authority in Arabic is as important as performing in English-language international media. The demands of each environment are distinct — editorially, culturally and technically.
Mayfair Media works with senior Arabic-language broadcast journalists who deliver media training in Arabic to exactly the same standard as our English-language programmes. We can offer fully bilingual sessions or dedicated Arabic-language coaching depending on your requirements.
