Intro to media relations for entrepreneurs lion's lair competitionJay Robb
Media relations advice for entrepreneurs looking to raise their profile with prospective customers, investors, partners, suppliers and employees. Presentation was delivered to participants in the 2018 Lion's Lair competition run by The Innovation Factory in Hamilton, Ontario.
About the Guide:
Anyone who listens to the Today programme or watches Newsnight, and has heard respected and articulate business leaders and politicians being grilled by the likes of John Humphrys or Jeremy Paxman, could be forgiven for feeling uneasy about being interviewed by a journalist. Successful media interviews, and positive media coverage, are not a matter of luck. Good preparation can make the difference between a confident, informed and articulate media performance, which presents your company in the best light, makes a good impression on the journalist and results in some sparkling copy or air-time – or a hesitant, tentative and ill-informed approach where the journalist fails to get the material they need and coverage is either negative or non-existent.
If you’re going to spend time and money marketing your organisation, it will pay dividends to prepare in advance what you plan to say and how you deal with the press – especially in a crisis.

Humans need to be speakers in everything that they do, whether they need to

multimillion deal.
Where would we be if not for our communication skills?

Chapter 1:
Being an Efficient Speaker – Do You Have What it Takes?
6. - 6 -
Summary
Speaking is a skill that depends on various factors. Now, everyone can
speak, as in speak with the mouth, but when we talk about effective
speaking, that’s a whole different story altogether. Here’s what you
should know.
7. - 7 -
Being an Efficient Speaker – Do You Have What
it Takes?
Speaking is the best form of communication we know. And we are
social beings; we need to communicate with each other constantly. We
jabber all the time; it’s probably one of the best things we do naturally
next to breathing, but when it comes to talking in front of a crowd or
talking for a special occasion, such as meeting with an important
client, most of us develop frozen cold feet.
This eBook deals with teaching you the art of becoming a compelling
speaker. But the first step to any education is an awareness of self.
Before endeavoring to become a compelling speaker, you must make
sure you know what compelling speakers need. Then you must see
whether these points are present within you. If not, you must think
about improving yourself. Here is what you must know.
Honesty
Honesty is very important when you are looking at talking effectively.
Think about it – if you are not convinced about something, how can
you convince others? It is not wrong to say that you are not an
effective speaker when you are lying. Because you know that
something isn’t true, you cannot convince other people about it.
Passion
If you are passionate, whatever you say rings true and earnest.
Whether you are speaking with a new person, asking him or her out
8. - 8 -
for coffee, or you are speaking on a podium in front of a thousand
people, you must make your passion felt.
Knowledge
This strictly applies to public speaking, but you could extrapolate its
effectiveness in other areas as well. You must know what you are
speaking about. You must always keep enriching your knowledge.
Interspersing your knowledge with anecdotes and good examples
makes for a more compelling speech.
Making the Connection
Great speakers are those that get their audience involved. This is
important whether your audience is sitting across the table with you at
a bar sharing a few beers or is listening to you speaking from a stage.
You have to get them participate. Asking them questions, making eye
contact, gesturing, etc. are some of the ways to do this. On the
contrary, if you go droning on, you will never be able to make the
connection and your speech will be a total waste.
Be a Good Listener
Effective speakers are constantly listening to others speak. Whether
these people are speaking professionally or just speaking to a group of
friends, effective speakers will lend an ear to them. They will pick up
important things that they say and try to work them into their own
speeches whenever the occasion arises.

Understanding Your Shortcomings and
Overcoming Them – Training Tips
A very essential thing when you are trying to become a successful
speaker is to understand where your failings are and improve upon
them. In this chapter we are going to see how you can improve
yourself as a speaker, whether in a formal or an informal setup.
1. The first step is to understand your failings as a speaker. What
happens when you have to speak? Do you become unduly
nervous? Do you forget what you have to say? Practicing what
you will say beforehand will help. Carrying a small paper with
notes on it will also help. Let it be kind of assembly; carrying
notes is always permissible. And, if you get nervous, all you
have to consider is that people who are listening to you are also
just as much human as you are. When you consider this human
equality factor, speaking to them does not seem so formidable.
In fact, you are the one with the privilege here because you are
speaking and these people have actually assembled to hear you
speak.
2. If you cannot speak because you think you cannot use the right
words, you should not let that deter you. Speakers need not be
literary geniuses. You should learn how to work your way around
words. You can mug up some quotes that you will speak out.
When your quotes are effective, people are already impressed.
The Internet has no dearth of quotes.
12. - 12 -
3. Speak relevantly. That is more important than the language.
People want to hear your ideas, not judge you for your
knowledge of the language. Hence, when you are preparing
anything to say, whether it is a proposal for marriage or a huge
business proposal, it is the ideas flowing from you that really
matter.
4. Give anecdotes, but don’t go overboard. People always latch on
to what you are saying if you can relate that with other living
people’s experiences. They find your speech more credible.
5. Most importantly, do not think of yourself as any less than the
people that are listening to you. If you know your subject well,
don’t let anything else get in the way of your speaking.

The Three Essentials to Becoming a Magnetic Speaker

14. - 14 -
Summary
It is surprising on how becoming a magnetic speaker actually stands
on just three important pegs.
15. - 15 -
The Three Essentials to Becoming a Magnetic
Speaker
Here are the three things that have characterized prominent speakers
all through the ages. Learn how to incorporate them into your
speaking as well.
The Right Ideas
Whenever you open your mouth to speak, people want to listen to the
ideas flowing in your head. Even if you are speaking with a friend
about the quality of food at a new restaurant, your friend wants to
hear how you find the food to be. Whenever your boss opens his
mouth to say something, you want to hear what he wants to say. Get
the point? It’s the “what you say” part of the conversation that really
matters, not the “how you say it.” Keep that focus in mind, more so in
public speaking. Think of the points that you will be speaking about; it
does not really matter if you don’t use the best words.
The Right Gestures
Your body language is an important part of you when you are
speaking. If you are going to hold yourself stiff, you will come across
as too nervous and worked up about what you are going to say. If you
hold yourself too loosely, you will come across as an overconfident
imp. Hence, you have to strike a balance here. Stand comfortably, but
not lazily.
16. - 16 -
More important are your gestures. Move your hands as you speak, but
not too much. Emphasize strong points with a corresponding hand
gesture. It makes even the lazy listener sit up and listen.
Always make eye contact with your listeners. Apart from making them
feel that you are speaking right to them, you also get an idea of what
they are thinking about when you are speaking.
The Right Concentration
Even though it may not seem to be so when you hear them, all
effective speakers are extremely concentrated on what they are
saying. They put their whole soul into their speech. They are so
focused on what they are saying that new points may come to their
mind even as they speak. This is how great speeches are made, not by
reciting what has been committed to rote memory.
This also includes alertness. Effective speakers are quite astute
persons. They are extremely alert about their audience’s reactions. A
stifled yawn, a bleary look, a rolled eye, nothing goes amiss. They take
everything into account and assess how the audience finds what they
are saying. They get the idea if the audience does not like something
they said. This gives them a chance to justify things a little more, to
win the audience over. Or, they can make out if the audience is
looking perplexed. If that happens, they try to reiterate the point in a
simpler manner.
17. - 17 -
The bottom line is that you have to be watchful about your audience’s
feelings. It gives you a chance to keep working up your speech as you
say it, to make it sound better to your segment of the audience.

Chapter 4:
Practically Practicing Your Speech
"Quickly Create Beautiful
Sales Funnels

19. - 19 -
Summary
A speech is a very practical thing. It has to be put into practice and
must be practiced.
20. - 20 -
Practically Practicing Your Speech
Becoming an effective speaker isn’t something that you can do
overnight. It takes a lot of practice and effort.
It is said that a person who wishes to bowl the audience over with an
effective speech must keep practicing the speech 24/7. That isn’t
wrong actually. But this does not mean you should keep muttering
your speech under your breath all the time. The practice that you do
refers also to the ideas that you keep thinking about. In fact, if you
just remain alert to what’s going on around you, it could be effective
practice for your speech. That’s because by being alert you are being
observant – probably something that you see can become an effective
anecdote to use in the next speech that you make.
It is also a good idea to have little practice sessions with your family
and friends. That doesn’t mean you have to bore them with your
oratory skills all the time, but you can test the waters subtly. Try
saying something to them and see how well you can capture their
attention. Try selling them an idea, probably about watching a movie
that they aren’t much inclined on watching or doing something similar
which they are not too keen about. Convincing this small group of
people is some practice for your speaking education.
Try more difficult things as you go along. If there is a family gathering
or some similar celebration coming along, ask the emcee to give you a
shot at the mike. Ask the permission to say something simple and
short. It will give you a “feel” of what being in front of an audience
could be like. Here you would be at ease because you know more than
21. - 21 -
half the people. Still, an audience always looks forbidding to someone
that hasn’t had a good deal of speaking experience.
It takes time, but you will become more confident slowly. Remember
that confidence is one of the main ingredients of becoming a forceful
speaker.

Coping with the Crowd – Overcoming Stage-
Fright
I have a friend who is often asked to speak to crowds. He speaks so
much in front of crowds that no one would believe that this guy with
the easy swagger on stage is actually scared to death from the
prospect of getting up on that stage… even today. What makes him
come onstage and deliver all those well-received speeches is that he
makes it a point to have two straight shots of vodka a quarter hour
before he is scheduled to speak!
Vodka may be one way to overcome stage-fright, but I surely wouldn’t
recommend that for two reasons. One, it can make you slur if you
cannot handle the drink, and two, you may not be able to bring about
those improvisation in your speeches that we have spoken about
earlier.
So what’s the next best option? Read through the following points to
learn how you can tackle the problem of stage-fright in the best
possible manner.
Make Eye Contact
When you get up on that stage, the first thing you must do is check
out the audience. Take a short moment to glance through the
audience. Look at every corner, if you can, before you begin. When
you see your complete audience, a major part of your intimidation
vanishes.
25. - 25 -
The same applies when you are trying to start speaking something
important with someone. If you are confused on how to begin, the first
thing to do is to get an eyeful of them. That puts you at ease and you
can talk better.
Prepare a Thunderous Opening Line
Practice and re-practice your opening lines well. If you are starting
with a quote, try saying that with different tones and modulations and
see which works the best. Then go up there and deliver your best.
If you are trying to propose to someone, the same thing works. Have a
great opening line ready and give it your best shot.
Any speaker gets twitchy when they have to speak to a new audience.
But you must know that this twitchiness lasts for only a few initial
seconds. After that, you get into the flow of the talking, considered
you have prepared it well, and you don’t fumble. Hence, if your
opening is well-rehearsed, you will find the nervousness pass away
more quickly.
Keep Great Expressions on Your Face
Whatever it takes, don’t ever let it show that you are nervous. Keep
those smiles coming and don’t frown. Speak naturally. When you look
back at your speech, your affable expressions makes it look much
better.

If you are not confident about what you speak, you won’t come off
sounding well to the audience. Here’s how to improve your speaking
by several notches.

How to Speak Onstage without Hemming and
Hawing
To be effective in your speaking, you have to make sure that you
speak in a flow. You should not stop midway and make embarrassing
pauses while trying to think what you will say next. This is a horrible
thing to do when you are onstage, for yourself and your listeners, and
when you take one such pause, you feel much more worked up about
the whole speech.
The best way to deliver a speech is to say it out in one shot, like it
were a big monolog, and not stop midway.
So, how do you do that?
The first important thing you need to be able to speak without
flinching midway is to practice your speech well. First of all, commit
the speech to memory. Do it the way you like it – either mug up the
entire speech or just the points, if you would like to rather work on
them as you go. But, the most important practice is the speaking
practice. Stand up in your room, and deliver the speech. Do it in front
of a mirror. Check yourself as you say it out. You will find a hundred
things you can improve on.
When you have said it once, take a pause, and then say it again in
front of the mirror. You will see that the faults will have largely
reduced. You will be able to speak better too. Doing this a few times
really helps.
29. - 29 -
Psychologists say that people get stage-fright not because they have
to deliver a speech or perform on the stage, but because they are too
conscious about the way they look and the way they conduct
themselves. When you practice in front of a mirror, you can correct
most of these problems. In fact, you will become liking the way you
conduct yourself after the first few times. This is when the speech will
come across more fluently.
Later, get someone to hear you out. Tell them to criticize you openly.
Work on these criticisms so that you can do better on stage. It is great
if you can ask a few people to hear you delivering your speech
because you could get a lot of varied feedback in that manner. Try to
remove these faults.
When you are onstage, keep in mind that these are also people like
you. Most of them have stage-fright too, and if they were called
onstage this very moment, their legs would probably turn to jelly. You
are doing a much better job. This boosts your confidence; you are able
to speak much better.

Putting Your Point Across
When you are speaking – to a single person or to a complete audience
– most of the times, you are trying to make a point. You are trying to
see what you are telling. At least, this is very much pronounced when
you are speaking onstage. There, you are trying to make hundreds of
people see things your way. Hence, it becomes very important to learn
how you can put your point across.
We have already spoken a lot about the confidence factor and how you
can improve upon it. It is highly important that you use these different
methods and improve your confidence so that you can convince those
listeners in a better way. If you are of a shaky disposition yourself, no
one is going to buy what you are saying, even if it were the voice of
reason.
Here are some things you must remember when you are trying to put
your point across, especially when you are onstage.
Feel the Audience
A good speaker can do that. Within the first three seconds while they
are onstage, they can find out whether they are speaking to a friendly
audience or a hostile one. You will have to change your speech
accordingly. You won’t need major changes, but if the audience is
hostile, you might need to put in an example or two more. It is best
you prepare for these in advance.
Start Interestingly
33. - 33 -
Your start should literally glue people onto their seats. It should grab
their eyeballs. They must want to listen to you. Begin with an
interesting anecdote or quote or example. If you have spoken the
same thing someplace else before and it has struck a chord with the
audience, then you can use a similar strategy, or even the same thing
if you are sure this audience is totally different.
Make Your Point Early On
Some speakers bore their listeners to the verge of death before they
come to the main point. A brisk opener is enough to set the right
mood. Then go straight to the point. Make the point first and if you
have more anecdotes and examples to give, work them in later.
Keep Your Physicality On
Let all those gestures, expressions, eye contact, etc. be on in their full
glory. This is what rivets the audience.

Have you come out of an oration being bowled over by the manner the
person spoke? Quite likely, these five essentials were part of their

The Five Essentials of a Dazzling Speech
After checking out hundreds of speakers, some of them of
international repute, we have unearthed these five characteristics that
are present in all their speeches. Are they present in yours?
The Right Stance
Great speakers hold themselves properly on stage. Their mannerisms
are exemplary. Even before they open their mouths to speak
something, they have already made an impression because of the way
they carry themselves. If you check out some eminent personalities
speaking, it will be very easy for you to work these into your speech
deliveries too.
The Right Tone
A great speech is varied in tone. The speaker won’t drone on and on in
the same mode. Their volume will go into an ebb and then surge
emphatically when a particular point is of great relevance. They will
put the correct emphases on exclamatory marks and questions, which
will be found aplenty in the whole body of their speeches anyway.
The Right Interest
One more aspect of great speakers’ speeches is that they know how to
keep the interest alive. At the slightest hint of the audience losing its
interest, they will bring forth a highly interesting point to re-captivate
the audience’s attention. They will also use interrogations in their
37. - 37 -
speech delivery. These interrogations, if effectively used, will make the
listeners ponder if even for just a second. This is what we mean when
we speak about “interactive” speeches.
The Right Examples
It is very important to include examples in your speeches if you want
to make them attractive. There is one very important point served by
this. When you give examples, you are making the speech sound more
real, as though what you said has really happened with someone that
the listeners know. If you don’t give examples, your speech becomes
one-dimensional as though it is only your point of view. A good
speaker is always looking for great examples to include in future
speeches. Keep a small book where you make handy references of
such ‘examples’ as you come by them and use them when needed.
The Right Closing
When you are listening to a speech, you are carried by it, but the part
of the speech that really makes a lasting impact is the closing. This is
what the people will carry home from the speech in most likelihood. All
great speeches are characterized by great closing lines.

Summary
The closing is what lingers in the listeners’ mind even after the speech
is over. Work on it; this is largely what makes your speech more
impactful.
40. - 40 -
The Most Effective Part of a Magnetic Speech –
The Closing
If you make a great speech, but close it in a non-impressive way, a
large part of your speech is lost. When you speak effectively, people
are very much interested in what you are leading to. People generally
have a mindset that makes them think that the best is always saved
for the last. That is the reason they are very much eager to hear the
close of the speech. Now, if you don’t work on it, your speech will
become a completely lost cause.
Here are different ways in which you can effectively bring your speech
to an effective climax.
1. Pose a question at the end. This question should have to do with
what you have just said. Keep the question a little tough, a
question whose answer won’t come right away into their minds.
However, the question must make them go back on what you
have said and scout for the answer. Effective speakers are
known to use this little device which makes their speeches
remain in the listeners’ minds for a long time even after they are
long over.
2. Place a great quote at the end. Spend time to search for such
quotes on the Internet or elsewhere and speak them with
aplomb. Do not elaborate on these quotes; leave them hanging
in the minds of the audience.
41. - 41 -
3. Sum it all up at the end. If you don’t know how to effectively
close your speech, just give them a summary. This helps too,
because it gives you a chance to reinforce what you just said on
your audiences’ minds.
4. If you have something to give away, keep that announcement at
the end. This is a great way to get people interested in what you
have been saying. After you have made the announcement for
the giveaway, summarize the main parts of your speech.
5. Make an earnest plea. This works if your speech is for a clause.
Or, get someone else – an eminent personality, if possible – to
come ahead and make the plea. Just hand over the mike to
them and move offstage.
These are various ways in which you can bring your speech to an
effective close. Time and again, it has been proven that any and all of
these methods work.

Improving Yourself as a Speaker
A speaker is always a student. You have to always keep learning. You
can never say that you have become the most perfect speaker there
is. Speaking is such a personal thing that there is a great deal of
variety in this realm. Even as you listen to other people speaking – by
being a part of a live audience or checking them out on television –
you see that there are so many of their impressive things that you can
include in your speeches. There is definitely no harm in trying out. You
could try working in these traits in your own delivery and improve.
A speaker is also a much-informed person. Keep yourself abreast of
what’s going on. You will have to allude to anything, anytime in your
speeches. You can speak the most relevant speeches at any time if
you are abreast of what’s happening.
Also, speak with people. Take their feedback on everything. Use this in
your speeches. This is general feedback, general opinion. It is always
great to put a joke about what people are already making jokes. It
helps. The speech becomes more colorful.
Keep yourself educated on great quotes too, at least those quotes that
are effective for your subject. But remember that all the great quotes
will already have been taken, other speakers might have used it. Your
audience might have heard those speeches. So, try to keep your
quotes as unique as possible.
Most importantly, keep yourself aware of human nature at all times.
People who are listening to you are human entities. They will react as
45. - 45 -
people normally do. If you learn how to read people and their faces,
you will do better at creating an impact with the speeches that you
deliver.
46. - 46 -
Conclusion
Speaking is an enjoyable activity once you get the hang of it.
Go on, conquer the microphone and your audience.
You have what you need now.
All the best!!!
