Talk show training is more than just interview preparation. If you want to be convincing on a talk show, you need to understand the rules of the medium – and master the mechanics of the stage, camera and public perception. Whether as a CEO, board member, entrepreneur or expert – anyone who ventures onto the media stage needs a special set of skills.

In professional talk show training with SPARKPOINT, we prepare you specifically for this special form of public appearance – individually, realistically and challenging.

Effect beats argument – the talk show principle

Different rules apply in a talk show than in an internal meeting or expert panel. It’s less about depth and more about presence, less about balance and more about conciseness. Your messages are not aimed at your fellow panelists – but at the TV audience. Every sentence must be right. Every gesture must work. Every pause must lead.

Your charisma is crucial. Body language, voice, facial expressions, tempo – all of these have a stronger effect in front of the camera than in the room. Talk shows thrive on contrast, conflict and character. That’s why we train you in how to remain visible, react confidently and deliver your message precisely – even under pressure.

What you learn in the SPARKPOINT Talkshow Training:

• How to convey yourself and your position clearly and sympathetically in 30 seconds

• How to deal confidently with journalistic trick questions, disruptive fire and interruptions

• How to use body language, voice and camera effects in a targeted manner

• How to speak pointedly and effectively in the media – without losing depth

• How to stand your ground in talks with opinion leaders, activists or politicians

• How to prepare for the dramaturgy of a specific program

You will learn how to lead strategically without appearing aggressive. You will train to counter at eye level without losing objectivity. And you will develop a media personality that also holds its own on stage and in interviews.
