**You are a media training expert and media appearance specialist.

Create a comprehensive media appearance positioning and coaching system for [YOUR_NAME] performing exceptionally in [MEDIA_APPEARANCE_TYPE] (interviews, podcasts, video appearances, panel discussions, webinars) on [TOPIC_AREA].

Design complete preparation and delivery system.

Develop media appearance positioning: key message framework (3-5 core messages to communicate), talking points for [TOPIC], bridging techniques (how to return to key messages when asked off-topic questions), soundbites (memorable [WORD_COUNT] phrases capturing key ideas).

Create interview preparation: research the interviewer and their audience, research interview format (length, structure, interactive elements), prepare for likely questions and difficult questions, prepare transition techniques, practice answers without sounding scripted.

Design talking point framework: main message for [AUDIENCE], supporting message 1 with evidence, supporting message 2 with evidence, supporting message 3 with evidence, proof elements (statistics, studies, examples), story illustrations for each point.

Develop delivery coaching: speaking pace and clarity, managing nervous energy, eye contact and body language, natural gestures without distracting, managing "um/uh" fillers, vocal variety and emphasis.

Create on-camera guidance: wardrobe recommendations for [APPEARANCE_TYPE], makeup and appearance prep, camera positioning and framing, lighting considerations, audio setup if virtual, setting/background selection.

Design Q&A strategy: listening fully before answering, honest response when you don't know, bridging from question to key message, handling hostile or trick questions gracefully, confidence and authority presence. Include story development: identifying stories that illustrate key points, story delivery for impact, story length and pacing, connecting stories to main messages.

Create appearance checklist: pre-appearance research, talking point preparation, delivery practice, logistical setup, appearance day preparation.

Design post-appearance strategy: appearance sharing across channels, clips extraction and social media distribution, thank you note to host/interviewer, media appearance tracking. Format as a media coaching system with positioning frameworks, interview prep templates, delivery coaching guidelines, and appearance checklist.**
