Speaking too early, too late, making mistakes, leaving out things you should have told... Getting excited, slipping out information at unseemly places and times...

Media and communications are two thin-ice sectors in Turkey. A single word uttered at the wrong time could bring you down. There is no use fearing the inevitable; you will be present anywhere you are required to be, but act extremely carefully. It is not only about knowing your addressee well. First, you have to look at yourself, weigh your communication skills, know your weaknesses and strengths and be prepared for every possibility by creating and working on various scenarios.

Drawing on its experienced team, İndeks prepares custom-tailored media training programs, and offers the program accompanied with simulations to corporate spokesperson(s). The program first tells about the world of communication, followed by the realization of the theory based on real-life events. İndeks supports the training with workshops. For instance, you are given the chance to test yourself in action via a press conference simulation where real journalists are gathered. You have an interview with real questions from a real magazine or newspaper. You appear on a real TV program, feeling the actual time pressure. You watch yourself and learn from your mistakes.

After the training, İndeks reports the process, which report also reveals your needs, demands and weaknesses in communication...

İndeks Media Relations Training consists of a full-day session with a broad and generic scope in addition to overall information on the subject. It is a program aiming to practice the subjects learned through simulations carried out the same day.

At the end of the program, participants learn/discover that;

• Communication is not limited to media only,
• Communication is an element that is manageable and that should be managed,
• Overall information about the media organization in Turkey,
• Their strengths and improvement areas in corporate and personal communication.

Some topics addressed in the training will emerge as areas that need to be more closely dwelled upon by the corporation and corporate spokespeople.

İndeks media relations training offers side modules to respond to the needs in such areas.
