01 / The format
The question you
didn’t rehearse.
A crisis. A gotcha. A layoff rumor. Hot Seat puts leaders in the moments where a polished talking point isn’t enough.
The heat comes from the questions.
Live breaking-news TV experience makes the pressure feel real. The goal isn’t to catch you out. It’s to help you find your footing.

Take the seat
Face three surprise reporter-style questions. No wings, no easy warm-up—just the moment and your response.
02
See what landed

Make the recovery
Move from the episode to deeper training. Practice acknowledging the question, finding the message and delivering it under pressure.
