I'm Sven Gold, a presenter at ProSieben since 2013, and I train CEOs and founders for TV, radio, podcast and video interviews. You learn to land your message clearly under pressure, answer critical questions calmly and come across on camera the way you do in your best conversation. 1:1, online or in person, in English or German.
In an interview you have no slides, no second take and often only 20 seconds for your key message. That's what we work on:
Short, clear sentences people can quote, instead of long, nested sentences that get lost in the edit.
We practice exactly the questions you dread until you answer them calmly and freely.
Eye contact, facial expression and gestures that look natural on camera. Words and face match.
Breathing, pitch and pace, so you sound confident even after a long day.
How to get a word in, set a key line and listen actively without seeming rude.
Posture, eye line, lighting and microphone for video interviews, podcasts and LinkedIn formats.
Which appearance is coming up, who is the audience, which questions do you dread?
I review previous interviews or videos and show you the three biggest levers.
Realistic questions from your situation, recorded and reviewed together. Every round gets measurably better.
Short exercises, feedback on your recordings and a final run-through shortly before the interview.
I'm not a PR consultant and I don't script your answers. Your key messages come from your company. I train you to make them land in the interview.
For a single interview, the Keynote PRE5ENCE Intensive is often enough. If several appearances are coming up, the Executive Intensive is the better choice.
The focused start when a specific appearance is coming up.
The core program: a full day on your real appearance and support all the way to the stage.
For the appearance where nothing is left to chance.
Price plus VAT. The Executive Intensive and Stage Ready are by application only, because I personally work with a maximum of 12 executives per month. You apply through the intro call.
Preparation for a BBC interview and for his speech as President of the Sigma Squared Society.
I produce the podcast “Beyond Billions” for Xavier, published by the Börsen-Zeitung.
Preparation for hosting alongside former P&G CEO David Taylor at the P&G Global Alumni Meeting 2025 in front of around 500 executives. Stefan also hosts the LEITWOLF podcast.
As the social face of taff I conceived, produced and edited formats. I know what works on camera.
“The most incredible technology doesn't help one bit if you can't communicate the potential of what you're building in a simple way. Sven is our number-one choice at EWOR.”
I started at ProSieben, one of Germany's largest TV networks, in 2013. Two and a half months later I had my first own show. Since 2017 I've been the social face of the magazine show taff and helped build its social formats. In nine months they reached 3.7 billion views.
My own start was rocky: the response to my first application videos was that a media career was not recommended for me. With the right training, my dialect was gone in two weeks. That's why I know: speaking is not a talent. It is training.
Today I work with CEOs, founders and executives using my PRE5ENCE method with five pillars: Body, Flow, Voice, Clarity and Stage.
Media training prepares executives for media appearances: TV, radio and podcast interviews, videos and panels. My focus is impact under pressure: key message, handling critical questions, voice and presence on camera.
The entry point is the Keynote PRE5ENCE Intensive (half a day plus 2 sessions) for €9,500 plus VAT. The Executive PRE5ENCE Intensive is by application only, through the intro call.
Yes. We simulate the interview with the questions you expect and the ones you dread – until you answer calmly and freely.
No. I'm not a PR consultant. Your messages come from your company. I make sure they land clearly and credibly in the interview.
I train the appearance, for example a difficult interview or a press conference. For the crisis strategy itself, I recommend a specialized agency as well.
Yes. For video and podcast appearances in particular, online training is very realistic. We also optimize your setup: lighting, microphone, eye line.
Yes. We train in the language of your appearance, English or German.
Yes. Recordings and content from the training are never published without your explicit consent.
I work with a maximum of 12 executives per month. Apply for an intro call: I review your details, and if it's a fit, we spend 45 minutes on what matters for your interview.
