A Host of Other Critical Differences
Training & presentation style — In TMT training, participants don't just sit and listen. They participate. Others lecture and present "tips." We engage, interact and involve.
Message development & role–playing — Other trainers merely present information, then "test" by putting participants in front of the camera. TMT training moves the participant from message development into realistic role–playing before going on camera. This gives participants more opportunity to absorb the information and to process the concepts so they remember and can apply them.
Guided interview preparation — TMT seminar participants receive and learn to use a step–by–step guide for preparing their own interview agenda. By using this disciplined approach to interview preparation, they have "us" with them long after the seminar…when they are facing the real thing.
