I tell my clients to be prepared with three points they want to get across in an interview, regardless. In other words, don't be afraid to skillfully get in your message. This might sometimes even entail saying, "Gee, that is an interesting question, but what I've found is even more important is...." Also, I have always coached my clients, "Don't practice on the public!" Know your materials inside out. Hire a media coach if need be so you are polished by the time the public actually hears you. And if it's a tv interview be certain to notice the culture and wear appropriate, attractive attire. Great list!

It's easy to become flummoxed and just wander around and appear foolish. Having a list (yes, a real list of written points) is invaluable. In written interviews, I try to make the answers as conversational as possible. The reader will imagine you speaking, and your normal writing style may not be the same as your speaking style.

Great list, Darren!
