Part 1, Unit 15, Conduct 10, Holding Debates and Arguments

Could you sharpen your public speaking abilities to hold compelling debates and arguments? The key to effective public speaking is preparation. The better you prepare, the more confident you will feel. Preparation begins with identifying your audience. What do you know about your audience? What do they care about? What's important to them? These are the questions you should ask as part of your preparation.

Part 2, Unit 13, Conduct 8 - The Art of Following Up in Talk Show Conversation

Live Online Radio Conversation: Unit 13, Conduct 8 - Following Up In Online Radio Conversation with Devesh Mothilall, Frans Rammutla and Sam Tsima. They are here to unpack the art of engaging in talk show conversations, a highly relevant topic to your profession. Its basis is LISTENING SKILLS! Most of us listen wrongly, listening to respond rather than listening to understand and empathise. This is why our responses are often off-tangent. This conversation continues our previous evening discussion at our TRAIN-THE-TRAINER (TTT) - Digital Online Streaming Mastery Programme. We have invited Frans Rammutla, an expert in The 7-Top Principles of Social Work, to link this topic to our conversation. This is to demonstrate that listening skills are required in all professions that require people to engage, including counselling, coaching, and holding talk show conversations.

Unit 12, Conduct 7 - Leading the Conversation

HOLD THE SPACE: As the host or anchor of the show, you must hold the space for your guests to reach their best level possible. You are an enabler rather than a challenger. Our approach is to extract the best and share it with the listeners so that they are inspired, motivated, and elevated from listening to our conversation with our guest, who is the subject matter expert.
THE INTERESTS OF THE LISTENERS: The host and anchor are there not for themselves but to represent the listeners' interests, who must be able to engage directly with the guest. You'll need to put yourself in their position and ask pertinent questions on their behalf. This means you must be perspective, fully present, imaginative, and set aside your interests. But you must guard against manipulating them.

Unit 11, Conduct 6 - Affirmation and Motivation

Global Online Streaming Mastery Show! We must be intentional in learning and applying affirmations daily until we master them, and they have become our way of being as talk show hosts and anchors. You do not just wake up and decide that you are going to affirm your guest. You must first learn the skill, acquire the competency, practice and develop the ability to apply it and gain experience until you have mastered the methodology. You must apply affirmation before, during and after the talk show. You will always come across people who need more confidence to accept your invitation to become the guests of your talk show. You should be able to apply pre-show affirmations to motivate and encourage them to take their first step. Then come the day of the show. They may be terrified to enter the studio, or in the middle of the show, they may experience a blackout. Your role as the host and anchor is to give them the necessary support. Some guests take many days post the show and have hangups due to self-judgement. This type of feeling may be damaging to your relationship with them. Please help them overcome this feeling and support them in moving forward. They must be assisted in seeing the past show as a learning opportunity and building on their experience to prepare for future shows. We call this post-show service and support. It also applies to seasoned guests of the talk shows. It is human nature to be self-critical. That is why we strive to give all the guests of the talk shows honest feedback. This includes producing the podcast of each show.
