Don’t Get Tripped Up by the Media, Take Spokesperson Training
Coverage of the housing crisis has been the focus of media attention nationwide. Inevitably your local media outlets will turn to you for perspective on the local market — if they haven’t already.
Make sure that you are able to get the facts about your local housing market out to your community confidently and clearly — without letting the reporter control the story.
Register online now for the two Spokesperson Training sessions — “Interview Skills” and “Presentation Skills” — at the 2009 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas in January.
In the “Interview Skills” session, NAHB members will learn how to give clear, concise answers in a high-pressure, spur-of-the moment interview. The session will help participants master strategies for broadcast and print interviews, including message development.
During the “Presentation Skills” session, members can learn how to confidently prepare and deliver dynamic presentations to any audience. “Presentation Skills” focuses on how to organize and deliver a speech and presentation with accompanying question and answer sessions.
