My former News Director used to always say, "Make every word you write and speak count, we only have a limited amount of time to make the point." After 24 years in radio broadcasting you learn a few things about what it takes to make an interview powerful, worth listening to and substantive.
You also learn that there are some interviewees who make the task of pulling out information terribly difficult and in fact painful for the interviewer and the listener.
When this happens not only do you run the risk of someone tuning you out; but you leave a questionable taste in the mouth of the interviewer when it comes to your ability to effectively and professionally communicate responsively.
This is true if the interviewer is a Human Resources Manager hiring for a position; a review board, a casting agent/panel or a ministry licensing review council.
Responsive Communication Styling is designed to help you identify your areas of challenge and develop a personalized game plan to make those challenges, former behaviors. Interview drills, literary principles, personal mini-story formatting and more are employed in this styling module.
