<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was asked the other day, "Can you give an example of the Thinking Behind the Talking" Workshop.</span></em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy to.</span></em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I was trying to think what would be a good way to begin the New year. Continue as before, or set the next twelve months up in a 'looking forward' sort of way?</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Then it struck me.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Trawling through some notes in, what I laughingly call, my office - I came cross<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>piece I wrote for an industry magazine ages ago but never shared with you here.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I've adapted it a little bit , but the same message stands.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">They are<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><u>The Three Principles of Communication</u><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(Tah-Dah)!!</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Well, we<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>are</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>communicators, so it makes sense to know a bit bout the thinking behind how we speak.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">So, here goes:</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin-left: 47.25pt; text-align: center; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">1.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The Bonding Principle</span></strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. People need people. That's a given. On the radio, knowing how to bond with your listener is essential to building up your relationship with your listener.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> There are a few easy ways you can do this:</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">a) <u> Enter their world</u>. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Put yourself in their shoes and try to see things from their point of view. Use the word 'you' instead of 'I'.<em>"You might have seen...",</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>instead of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>"I saw...".</em></span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">b)<u> Mirroring.</u><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Using words and phrases that your listener can relate to. The classical music presenter won't use the terms spoken by an Urban CHR presenter and vice versa. Know who you are speaking to. We do this in life anyway with the different people we come in contact with each day. No doubt you speak differently to your doctor and your best friend!</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">c)<u> What’s in it for them</u>? In our Workshops we call this the 'Who Cares' angle. If your listener doesn't care about what you have to say, then what's the point in saying it?</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Bonding builds an emotional connection between you and your listener...essential to any successful relationship.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin-left: 47.25pt; text-align: center; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">2.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Consistency Principle:</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">When you know and understand your radio 'voice', then you will automatically know how to maintain it. Consistency doesn't mean saying or doing the same thing each day. It means your 'personality' is consistent. Your overall beliefs, values and thoughts develop into a particular pattern.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The brilliant thing about this is that you can then change your style when you need to. This might sound like<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>bit of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>contradiction, but the thing is - when you are consistent it allows you to break out of your familiar pattern when you want to. Then return to the usual 'you'. Consistency actually<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>frees you up</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>so that your listener can accept the surprises more easily.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The principle says that you will be consistent and<span class="apple-converted-space"><i> </i></span><em>'will change to ensure this is so' !</em></span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">So, if you're the crazy, funny on air guy - it's OK to become serious or sad.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">If you're the serious presenter, then being goofy sometimes is cool.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Consistency allows you to be free.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin-left: 47.25pt; text-align: center; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">3.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Understanding Principle</span></strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">: Understanding other people is one of the basic keys to successful life relationships. Radio is no different. It works two ways - understand yourself (your radio 'voice') and understand your listener.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Understanding can come from past experiences together, shared moments or feelings, or habit. As<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Valerie Geller</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>says<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>"A great radio host is one I would be willing to share a five hour car journey with"</em>. Imagine your listener is in their car for the duration of your show - the ultimately successful relationship will mean that she is happy to spend that time listening to you.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">That comes from a mutual understanding. It's a form of mental association.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Now, you don't get competent at these principles by time-checking and saying<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>'Coming up next'.</em></span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">You achieve by planning and captivating.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I've often been told by presenters<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>"But I work on a CHR with 20 second links...how can I do that"?</em></span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Doesn't matter. Work at it, plan it, captivate your audience.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Twenty seconds or twenty minutes - the length of your link is irrelevant.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">What IS relevant is what you do with your time. YOU. No one else.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Ultimately<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>you</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>are responsible for your gig.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">One of the best books you can read on this is by the above mentioned Valerie Geller, called<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>'Beyond Powerful Radio'</em>.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Let's make 2012 the year that brings the magic back onto radio.</span></div>
<div style="background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-origin: initial; margin: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">You're part of this industry. You have the chance to be great and make your show great.

Is it having a great radio voice?<br />
Is it being a 'solid jock'?<br />
Is it the ability to 'hit the post'?<br />
<br />
Nah.You know it isn't.<br />
It's the connection you make with your listener. Through the <strong>words you use</strong>.<br />
<br />
Listeners 'recognise' you through your words.<br />
They also recognise<em> themselves</em> through <em>you</em>.<br />
You are their mirror.<br />
They either like what they see...or they don't.<br />
They either stay with you...or they don't.<br />
<br />
Have you ever made a connection with a particular radio presenter?<br />
Is there one on air person you love listening to?<br />
<br />
Ask yourself why?<br />
<br />
Then ask yourself, are you creating that relationship with <em>your</em> listener?<br />
<br />
Radio Stars know how to connect.<br />
They allow their listener 'recognise' themselves through the words they choose.<br />

That's a pity, isn't it?<br />
Well, I think so.<br />
<br />
Is it time for this one to come back to life? I am giving it some serious thought. <br />
If you're reading this post it means the RSS feed is still active, so that's a start :-)<br />
<br />
Let's see if the video stream still works :<br />
<br />

<br />
Yup. That looks OK from here.<br />
<br />
The more I think abouit this, the more fun it seems.<br />
Maybe we could do contributions too...fancy writing stuff about radio?<br />
Let me know.<br />

I hope it managed to do that.<br />If you still want to read some of my stuff then you can subscribe to the weekly Ezine or hook up on Twitter. If not...hopefully I'll see you around.<br />Thanks again.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />B.BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-23176699552993743772009-11-24T17:46:00.001+00:002009-11-24T17:48:18.780+00:00It's good :-)Saw this liked it...passing it on.<br /><div>Billboard for <strong>KissFM</strong> Boise, idaho.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebyWQQktCod_9dStQFFrE3glBZRP6hncUGBPUFAJ0PzGy-Y0iGn7UOMITZS5wFjUjCyNE_-QTKymfBbYtnafvJMwrgyAuYnjuM6Ex750nVX7A90_48fXXHI1qzsy4XOiyaZ788Bd_7N5F/s1600/hookerbillboard.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407728255722709762" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 147px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebyWQQktCod_9dStQFFrE3glBZRP6hncUGBPUFAJ0PzGy-Y0iGn7UOMITZS5wFjUjCyNE_-QTKymfBbYtnafvJMwrgyAuYnjuM6Ex750nVX7A90_48fXXHI1qzsy4XOiyaZ788Bd_7N5F/s320/hookerbillboard.png" border="0" /></a>BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-50018359790767068902009-11-24T17:31:00.002+00:002009-11-24T17:39:48.227+00:00UK Radio Player.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPREn4zWX59PqSk_irP5sUnOLBWEi0gnO57gxCUiswJPgPxhdsd9NXlxA_SlXZCaw4W3rf1_TDrVZFa1c4DZPokekgqWz993uv94n03n6C93RL5D3bjyshbRNo8TfAoB17lDH7oP3JIG7I/s1600/bbcplayer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407725912157732834" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPREn4zWX59PqSk_irP5sUnOLBWEi0gnO57gxCUiswJPgPxhdsd9NXlxA_SlXZCaw4W3rf1_TDrVZFa1c4DZPokekgqWz993uv94n03n6C93RL5D3bjyshbRNo8TfAoB17lDH7oP3JIG7I/s320/bbcplayer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>What are the odds that this will be avaialable in Ireland?</div><div>A website that offers all UK stations will be running by Christmas and should be available to listen to by the middle of next year.</div><div>There are a couple of decent articles explaining it:</div><div><em>here</em>:</div><div><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/single-website-for-all-uk-radio-stations-by-early-next-year-1809420.html"><span style="color:#660000;">http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/single-website-for-all-uk-radio-stations-by-early-next-year-1809420.html</span></a></div><div><em>and here:</em></div><div><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6436051/Website-to-offer-all-British-radio-stations.html"><span style="color:#660000;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6436051/Website-to-offer-all-British-radio-stations.html</span></a></div><br /><div></div><div>The <em>Mirror </em>has a write-up about the fact that it could go mobile as well:</div><div><a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/2009/11/19/bbc-uk-radioplayer-coming-to-mobile-115875-21835259/"><span style="color:#660000;">http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/2009/11/19/bbc-uk-radioplayer-coming-to-mobile-115875-21835259/</span></a></div>BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-78329411915323564432009-11-22T17:49:00.000+00:002009-11-22T17:49:33.690+00:00Glasgow.<em>Robin Banks</em> and <em>Ali Mak</em> from <strong>Virgin Radio</strong> in Dubai after our Workshop in Glasgow.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVGxBImujUb5w7Kp5LKGgPhtize4MLU6RXmyqKWU5CnULsyPWQWBGgbXic-5BDZkQ5vbMXyH8yMkxOs11zPxeloZ-SllGoSNkzC5NLYip53-Q0Z9vGGu-02XRwJtsLH2qJbvKTlbf6rwYA/s1600/IMAG0061.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVGxBImujUb5w7Kp5LKGgPhtize4MLU6RXmyqKWU5CnULsyPWQWBGgbXic-5BDZkQ5vbMXyH8yMkxOs11zPxeloZ-SllGoSNkzC5NLYip53-Q0Z9vGGu-02XRwJtsLH2qJbvKTlbf6rwYA/s320/IMAG0061.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-18652480590791073712009-11-22T17:24:00.003+00:002009-11-22T17:51:22.873+00:00Glasgow.Thanks to everyone for coming along to our Workshop in Glasgow on Saturday. It was a great day.<br />I arrived at the venue pretty early and was sitting by a window having a coffee and catching my breath when - Bam Bam Bam!! There's <em>Robin Banks</em> banging on the window at me with his big wide smile and infectious enthusiasm! So the day began and so it continued.<br />There were people there from all over Scotland, from London, Ireland and Dubai. All levels represented too, from rookie to 30 year radio vererans.<br />There were dis-agreements and debates but most of all lots of laughing and lots of fun.<br />Oh and sambos too.<br />There's more about it in this week's Ezine...just email me if you would like a copy sent to you.<br />So this note today is to acknowledge everyone we have met in the past 12 months across Ireland and the UK and to say 'thanks'. Been a hell of a year and I've enjoyed every bit of it.<br />This radio lark could catch on y'know ?!BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-55185027466858084742009-11-17T18:52:00.002+00:002009-11-17T18:57:49.930+00:00Speaking of Christmas...It's not <em>always </em>a good thing for you if you work on a station in North America and the format flips to Christmas music.

Hope everyone is pleased with their numbers. Although, we never fully are, are we.<br />In some cases if we go up we can feel as though we 'dodged a bullet'. Othertimes people will say "That's me employed for another three months!" and so on.<br />As Debbie Allen from Q102 puts it : It's like getting the leaving cert results every three months.<br />For high pressure shows like the breakfast gigs and big profile talk programmes, it is quite unnerving. The sightest movement can make all the difference. I've known some folk to have restless nights leading up to the book.<br />The JNLR isn't the world's greatest ratings system, we know that - but it's all we have, so we need to take notice of it as a barometer of sorts. Is the North American PPM system better (every month)? Who knows.<br />All I know is that radio is strong in this country and listeners are still talking about it. It's still relevant in this part of the world and that's down to presenters, producers, programmers and everyone involved in the business here.<br />Ratings? Sure they're important but they come and go. I'ver had some stinker books and then some amazing ones...and I'm still alive to tell the tale !<br />It's like anything in radio: some people will like you, some will dislike you and the rest are unaware of you. The unaware group is the one who's attention you want to get!<br />Anyway, no numbers breakdown from me this time - I'm sure you have sources for that.<br />Try here:<br /><a href="http://www.bci.ie/"><span style="color:#660000;">http://www.bci.ie</span></a>BmacMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11979728387074884743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583334212163328561.post-41627687969500421432009-11-11T06:51:00.005+00:002009-11-11T14:03:18.947+00:0098.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUjJ7aOytaWKevJPhp5bHcrX4TpHDthKLUxcI1EtMyVoLv5aPs13Rn7LQzl9wciR7OX84OlJYtdsmrlWpVpWFF9iby58ZWVf5guQbDYXjWXjztwFX7seosRwz6XQEe6yip4WLi725e3AB/s1600-h/98fm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402738282479802498" style="WIDTH: 75px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 91px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUjJ7aOytaWKevJPhp5bHcrX4TpHDthKLUxcI1EtMyVoLv5aPs13Rn7LQzl9wciR7OX84OlJYtdsmrlWpVpWFF9iby58ZWVf5guQbDYXjWXjztwFX7seosRwz6XQEe6yip4WLi725e3AB/s320/98fm.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>So, <strong>Dublin's 98</strong> hit the big 20 yesterday. Nice<br /><div>I have a lot of great memories of working for that station. Back in 1998 I did the breakfast show (<em>The Dawn Patrol</em>) with <em>Debbie Allen</em> and <em>Morgan Jones</em>. I never laughed so much in my life...we were fired after three months ! You know what? They were dead right too. We were having a ball, but the show was awful! When they're right, they're right.</div><div>Then in 2000, I went back for more.
