Congressional Testimony

You need more than the facts on your side when you deliver Congressional testimony. The same applies when you appear before your state legislature or the regulatory agency that oversees your industry.

Witness preparation and testimony training are mandatory. You need the power of persuasion — power capable of moving policymakers.

We show you how to magnetize your message and sharpen your delivery skills as you prepare for your Congressional hearings. Your testimony training program is custom crafted to fit your needs, complete with simulated hearing. Your witnesses and your government relations team will master important skills:

• • Craft an attention-grabbing opening statement. Let others recite a litany of dry, legalistic facts when they testify. Your witness preparation injects your message with language capable of swaying policymakers to your point of view.
  • Master the question and answer period. Learn how you can control the parry and thrust by using a formidable and magnetic message.
  • Target the opinion leaders who really matter. We show you how to pinpoint the lawmakers and regulators you need to persuade.
