If one wishes to be competent and effective with the different media, he/she must be competent, self-confident and credible. In many cases the impression unfortunately runs contrary: the voice sinks and fails, the statements are not well thought through and fall flat, the facts are not well positioned or difficult to comprehend. And even more, the Interviewer hurls uncomfortable questions! Chances are high that one would go in a spin on such slippery slopes and whoever does so ends up by giving a poor account of oneself and the image of the Enterprise one represents.
We offer you a training programme for voice, speech and personality training substantiated by sound principles of psychology and journalistic know-how. That is to say: we train you in matters of form, presence and contents for your appearance before the media. In concrete, you will benefit from double security. We will decide upon the concrete contents only in consultation with yore. We will naturally take into account your previous knowledge and experience with you having dealt with representatives of the Media. It is you who will decide upon the priority arrears, whether it should be interviews, conversation with the press, a purposeful preparation for a Talk-show or a communication over a crisis situation. In the journalistic part of this training we will put you through a cross fire, meaning that we will ask more or less all those uncomfortable questions that the representatives of the press usually ask. We will work on a suitable response strategy. So you will be prepared for confrontational situations too.
Notes: This seminar is for groups, as well as for single individual training.
