Media training
You’ve got a good story. But what remains of it before the eye of the camera? Or with a journalist’s microphone under your nose? Media training teaches you to compose and/or convey your core message spontaneously and efficiently. Your timing and improvisation skills are also honed.
Techniques
Stress resistance, rhetoric, debating, improvisation, analysis, synthesis, contact skills, listening skills, body language, focusing technique, camera technique, quotes and one-liners.
Public speaking
Speaking to people, groups or the masses spontaneously demands more than a couple of sheets of A4 paper. Public speaking teaches you how to make contact, use body language, present and improvise with ease and enjoyment.
Techniques
Spontaneity, stress resistance, body language, presentation text, visualisation technique, relaxation technique, contact skills, analysis, synthesis, improvisation, risk management.
Image building
Reality is what it is, but perceptions can be toyed with. With image building, we assess the person or product’s identity and analyse the positive and negative aspects. So that custom-made campaigns can convey a strengthened image to your targets.
Techniques
Strength-weakness analysis, development of campaigns designed to distribute and capitalise on the desired image. Analysis, synthesis, networking, visualisation technique, power of persuasion, research, assertiveness, motivation.
Interview techniques
Interviewing is about getting to the essence. Or getting to the point quickly. That demands prior research. It requires an assertive but empathetic attitude. You use all manner of interview techniques whenever you can and improvise effectively whenever you need to.
Techniques
Audiovisual and print media. Research, analysis, synthesis, listening skills, contact skills, assertiveness, improvisation, spontaneity, stress resistance, timing, empathy, confidence, multitasking.

Game show/quiz presentation

Techniques
Timing, speed, empathy, diction, multitasking, stress resistance, improvisation.
Presentation text
Form is slowly gaining in importance. But content remains – at least in the long run – the foundation. A good presentation joins the two in perfect harmony. This course teaches you how to put such a text on paper. And how to deliver it before an audience. From entrance to applause.

Entertainment interview
Doing an entertainment interview on TV involves constant weighing up. When and how do you pick up on what your guest is saying?

Leading debates
How do you tell the difference between allowing someone to finish and letting them harp on? How much of the topic do you need to know yourself? Learn how to circumvent standard responses and tricks.

In-depth interview

Techniques
Analysis, synthesis, research, argumentation, humour, emotion , quotes and one-liners.
Assertiveness
Do you find it hard to say “no” sometimes or to stand up for yourself and your interests? You don’t want to hurt other people so end up hurting yourself a little too often?

That way, you’ll be ready for every kind of confrontation.
Techniques
Focusing technique, analysis, research, timing, visualisation technique, stress resistance, relaxation technique.

Techniques
Debating technique, analysis, time management, risk management, timing, stress resistance, structure.
Motivation
Driven people deliver better results. But how do you motivate them? You listen, you analyse, you empathise. Then you enter into dialogue, or even critique. You approach things with thought. With the right message, to the right person, at the right time.
