"What’s my reaction to an Ed Barks training? Two thumbs up!"

Testimony Training You need more than the facts on your side when you testify before Congress or appear as an expert witness before your state legislature or the regulatory agency that oversees you. Witness preparation and testimony training are mandatory. You need the power of persuasion -- power that moves opinion leaders.

We show you how to magnetize your message and sharpen your delivery skills as you prepare to present oral testimony. Your Congressional testimony training workshop is custom crafted to fit your needs, whether it's a half-day review session or a full day workshop complete with mock 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 before Congress. Our witness preparation workshops inject your message with the power of persuasion.
  • Master the question and answer period. Learn how you can control the parry and thrust when you take on the role of expert witness.
  • Target the opinion leaders who really matter. We show you how to pinpoint the members of Congress, state legislators, and regulators you need to persuade.

Every Barks witness preparation workshop comes with a complimentary copy of the training guide written by Ed Barks, Winning at the Witness Table; 60 Tips to Terrific Testimony. Plus, you receive a free post-training check up that lets you maximize the results of your legislative testimony or regulatory testimony training workshop.
