This post is reflecting on how TikTok CEO Shou Chew managed the challenging interviews from a comms point of view. And for the record, this article does not express any political view.
So TikTok CEO ticked (no pun intended) many boxes. A good learning opportunity.
well prepared, came with information, data points and actions
listened actively, good eye contact before replying, didnt jump in/interrupt
came across calm, genuine, and poised
Not baited, bridged back to his key points where possible
dressed appropriately. Blue is often recommended as associated with trustworthiness.
his body language (slightly leaning forward) and facial expressions were appropriate (no smirks, eye rolls etc)
Anything else you'd noticed as good or bad from this session?
Penny for your thoughts?
Lastly, as a fellow Singaporean, very proud of how he's indirectly represented Singaporean brand on a global stage .
