Witness Preparation

Sworn testimony can be the most intimidating of all presentation settings. CommCore's witness preparation workshops teach participants how to present credible, convincing testimony. Our consultants lead participants through direct and cross-examination sessions. We videotape the mock sessions and use playback and critique to identify "holes" in testimony and address delivery and credibility issues.

CommCore's attorneys and communication experts offer coaching to prepare potential witnesses for any legal scenario:

• Depositions
• Trials
• Regulatory hearings
• Legislative hearings

CommCore also conducts testimony writing programs for witnesses and testimony drafters. These workshops teach individuals the art of writing regulatory testimony in a question and answer format. The workshops focus on testimony organization, drafting responsive answers and keeping jargon and acronyms to a minimum.

This course can be offered as a group workshop or as a self-paced independent study program.
