Inter­view training

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.
