Preparation

Keynote and interview preparation for executives.

The talk is written. The interview is booked. What decides how it goes is the delivery.

A keynote or a major interview is months of work, judged in minutes. Most executives prepare the content and wing the delivery, because nobody around them can coach it — your team can’t tell you you’re flat, and a read-through at your desk is not a rehearsal.

The Studio prepares people the way television prepares people: on camera, out loud, with someone who has sat on the interviewer’s side of the table. We rehearse the real thing — the run-through, the mock interview, the Q&A drill — and I stop you, honestly, until the delivery matches the material. Wardrobe direction comes with it, for the stage, the room, and the lens.

That preparation is Studio Day: one person, one day, on camera, built around the date on your calendar.

Two Notes to start with: How to be read as ready before you say a word and The 30-second read.

Questions

The short answers.

How far ahead should we book?

Far enough for at least one rehearsal to settle — weeks are better than days. If the moment is tomorrow, ask anyway.

Do you write the keynote?

No. The writing stays with you or your speechwriter, and we work happily alongside the firm that wrote it. We make the delivery match the material.

Is this media training?

It is media training pointed at one date on the calendar: real reps, on camera, for the moment you have named.
