Answering Tough Questions under Stress

2015-07-30 00:00:00
Company: Media Education CEE, s.r.o.
Address:
Can you, as a company representative, do a great job when you’re placed in the hot seat? Can you answer tough questions from a reporter when placed in front of the camera? Can you do the same thing when asked difficult questions by your boss, a client or an investor? Can you handle your emotions, manage your body language and deliver a superb answer in situations that might put your company or career at risk?

If you are unsure, you can do something about it. Conscious strategic communication is a part of any leader’s toolbox.

Join us for a short, intensive workshop on answering tough questions under stress and managing any challenge with a smile. Cristina Muntean will draw on 12 years of conducting interviews as a reporter and more than five years of advising leaders in Central and Eastern Europe on their media communication skills to make this an insightful and practical experience.

When: Thursday July 30, 2015 from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM CET
Registration from 5:30 – 6:00 PM CET
Workshop from 6:00 – 7:30 PM CET

What you will learn:

How to prepare yourself physically, mentally and emotionally before a difficult interview.
