Media Training: How to Prep Execs for the Big InterviewCision
Media coverage is a great opportunity for your brand, but it’s important your senior leaders put their best foot forward in the interview. How can you make sure the next interview with an executive runs smoothly?
Brad will teach you how to train your execs to:
Transform your media coverage with one simple technique
Showcase your brand’s best traits with effective media responses
Portray your organization positively when answering challenging questions
Avoid repetition but keep messaging consistent
Difficult Conversations is based on the book Difficult Conversation and is a methodology of how to engage anyone successfully through a difficult conversation. It is a method I work with in instructing clients how to work with those that they have typically been challenged with. It works as well in your personal life as it does your work life.
This webinar examines your role dealing with the media. Knowing how to respond to tough questions from reporters representing print, broadcast and online media can be a challenge. We will provide you with insight about how the media works, what they want and how to drive home your talking points when answering their questions. By understanding how reporters think and what they are looking for, you can better plan your strategy for responding to their questions while controlling your message.

If you want to find a good job after college, create change in your community, and make an impact on this world, you need to build successful relationships. However, before you build that relationship, you have to get the person interested in what you’re working on. So you will learn how to develop an effective message to inspire people to join your campaigns. You will also learn how to navigate the 3 No’s and how you can turn a no into a yes. Beyond that, you will learn how you can make a hard ask so they won’t say no in the first place. Then you will learn the skill that will take you over the top: the one-to-one.
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.

How to Influence Others
Presented by: Argu, Taylor,
Ahmd, and Joshua
1
Good Morning Everyone!
My name Taylor and these are my colleagues Ahmd, Argu, and Josh… and today we’ll be presenting on How to Influence Others.
To give you a background on how we chose this topic, we started to imagine life after college, work, and although we
go to college to learn the basics of business, business is more than just knowing how to set up an income statement,
how to calculate the weighted average cost of capital, or understanding the current economic and political state of
The global economy… we need to know the skills of how to conduct business… which boils down to influence… how
our thoughts, ideas, and opinions are going to impact the people around us... our customers, coworkers, bosses, and
investors in the future.
Learning Objectives
Enhance one’s ability to influence using emotion, charisma, and vulnerability
Become more confident with using logic, emotion, and cooperative appeals
2
The learning objectives of this workshop include:
Gain understanding of the differences between influence and manipulation
Enhance one’s ability to influence through connection using emotion, charisma, and vulnerability
Acknowledge positive influencers in your life and how they have affected you as a person
Follow the Cialdini technique of pre-suasion through a step-by-step process
Make a connection between emotional intelligence and influence
Become more confident with using logic, emotion, and cooperative appeals
Practice the five simple steps to win people over instantly
So let’s jump right in and get started with Influence vs. Manipulation...
Influence v. Manipulation
3
I want to pose a question to the class… in your own words, what differentiates
influence from manipulation?
Could I get two volunteers to share their thoughts?
People often use influence and manipulation interchangeably as at the end of the
day, both words basically mean getting someone to do something you want them
to do. However, these two words have different connotations.
In our interviews and online questionnaire, we posed the question of “what is one thing you would like to find out more about influencing others?”
We received numerous responses such as, “Is the result of influencing more of a positive or negative aspect?”, “Do
people know if I’m manipulating them or influencing them?”, “How to be a positive influencer”, and “Knowing the tools
and methods available in order to positively influence another.”
Which is why we’re training on positive influence today, and clarifying the difference between manipulation
and influence first.
How to Enhance your Ability to Influence: this is my part
4
Connect with People Emotionally: this too
The ability to control the emotions of others helps in influencing them. The first step in achieving this is engaging others in conversation.

Client Brief Assignment
Refer to Grade Book for % of Final Grade and Due Date
The Assignment
This is an individual assignment. Read the article. The link to the article is posted at the bottom of this page. You are to put yourself in the role of a management consultant who has been engaged by the client (Target) to assist them in overcoming a problem or issue. Your client is requesting a Post Mortem and Learnings from this serious setback. Based on the article each student is to identify:
· Primary issue in the situation
· 2 secondary issues
In addition, you will detail ………….1) What caused the issues? 2) Who are the principals involved?
3) How could they have achieved success instead of disaster?
Each student will then prepare a Client Brief. You are to design a form/questionnaire that you would like the client to complete before you undertake their project. The purpose of the Brief is to help you prepare for the project and document what you need to know before you start your work. The Brief helps organize their needs and required deliverables. You will need to do some secondary research regarding Client Briefs to prepare your document. You can investigate ‘Best Practices’ in this area.
Individual marks for this Assignment and the Prior Knowledge Quiz will assist in the Group Formation for the Client Project.

Conflict Interview
Please make up the interview.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to explore the complex nature of conflict in the workplace, with its source in interpersonal, small group or organizational factors. It is worth 20% of your total grade. Your grade will be based on 1) the depth of your analysis of the interview, 2) application of course material and 3) the overall effort on the assignment. Also refer to the evaluation rubric for papers for writing expectations.
This assignment has two parts; a summary of the interview (or transcript) and your responses to the discussion questions. Your interview summary can be your hand written notes with what you feel are the important points highlighted or a typed summary of the important points. The discussion questions are for you to complete based on your interview and are included on the next page. Read them through before your interview so you have them in mind as you ask your questions. Please submit a hard copy of both a summary of your interview and the discussion questions in class (refer to Moodle for the due date).
Conduct an interview with someone you know and feel comfortable having an honest (and confidential) discussion. It is better to have this interview with someone in a full time career rather than a part time job.
Use (or adapt) the questions provided. No names or characteristics that could identify this person should be used. Encourage the person you interview to be as specific and honest as possible in their answer.

Presentation slides from XP2024 conference, Bolzano IT. The slides describe a new view to leadership and combines it with anthro-complexity (aka cynefin).
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by OECD, OECD Secretariat, was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the 77th meeting of the OECD Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

2. How to Speak
Your success in life is
largely determined
largely by your ability
to speak, your ability
to write and the
quality of your ideas---
-in that order.
PATRICK HENRY WILSON, MIT
4. Wilson states every
presentation must have
a (implied or
articulated)
empowerment promise.
What are you going to
know at the end of the
day
that you didn’t know at
the start of the day
5. Ian’s empowerment promise:
Strategies on how to
frame external
communications for
maximum positive impact;
Prepare participants to
talk confidently and
effectively to internal and
external audiences.
6. What you
should take
away from
this session:
IF you remember only two
things from today,
Remember the need for:
•Clarity
•Consistency
In your messaging.
7. On the virtue of messaging consistency

17. Me telling you how to
Think Critically
Organize your thoughts
Develop your message
Performance
Lift your words off the page
Deliver your message in a way that’s compelling…
Or at least not distracting.
18. Your biggest challenge
WHEN IT COMES TO ORGANIZING YOUR THOUGHTS AND ORGANIZING YOUR ME SSAGE….

23. Why would you
subject yourself to
this
You’re here because you have or could soon do
an media interview.
Better to fail in a safe place.
You get better through repetition.
Message development will help you in other
ways:
Fund raising
Strategic planning
Stakeholder relations
Employee engagement
24. Also, this--
In order to evaluate your
performance….
..you need to get used to seeing and
hearing yourself.
Note:
There is an uncomfortable gender
dimension to this.
We all need to be aware of it.
34. brand
The lens through which you focus your
story to the outside world;
A list of impressions allowing potential
users to make a decision between one
thing and another;
What they say about you when you are
not in the room.
37. Strategic plan
Where the brand and the story
meet the real world.
We give time and resources to things that are
important;
We allocate resources based on our
understanding of ourselves and our
understanding of the task at hand;
What would it look like if we started over
tomorrow morning?
40. The twin challenges of media
interviews..
Getting the information to support your message;
Organizing the information.
Picking the right words to articulate the right message.
Telling the story in an engaging way;
Responding to questions.
Collection
Distribution
41. Critical thinking
Picking the right words
And organizing them in the most
logical and compelling way
Creates a message that sounds
better
44. Rory Stewart
UK Secretary of State
For International Development
Interviewed May 3, 2019 on
BBC’s Politically Thinking podcast.
“….gender sensitive, multi-
ethnic centralized state
based on democracy, human
rights and the rule of law...”
46. Good writing
Is concrete, not vague;
Talks about people and things;
Avoids abstractions;
Engages the reader/listener in a specific
problem or opportunity;
Can be easy translated into action.
49. We waste time and effort by
being unclear about our story.
50. We spend a lot of time in our
lives…
speaking to people who are not listening
writing reports that never get read
failing to reach people who don’t know we
exist and may have something to say.
failing to engage people who do know
about us.
51. We spend a lot of time
talking to ourselves about
ourselves.
53. Use critical thinking
before an interview
Are we saying what we think we’re saying?
Have we made our case?
Are we responsible for all reasonable explanations?
68. The legal standard for libel
You are legally responsible
For every reasonable interpretation of the words you say.
“I chose my words poorly”
“But that’s not what I mean”
Lousy defense
73. Error Blindness
Trapped in a bubble where we feel right about
everything
Being wrong doesn’t feel like anything,
Feels like being right
No internal cue telling you “you’re wrong”
Strong social pressure to avoid admitting mistakes
78. Questions to ask before an interview
What’s our policy?
What have we said about this before?
You’ve just heard what I’m going to say----
Is this the first time we’ve said this?
Will it garner support amongst our members?
Will it outrage anyone?
Are we OK with that?
80. GOVERNMENT LEADER, UK HOUSE OF COMMONS
Jacob Rees Mogg
In the early days of an election
campaign….
Invited to respond to a judicial inquiry
on the Grenfell Tower Fire.
14 June 2017
72 people killed
Faulty cladding
Residents were told by firefighters to
stay where they were.
81. ISSUES OF CLASS
Factor 1 in the story
Grenfell Tower is public housing
Inhabited mostly by low income,
marginalized people.
Tower is in the middle of the SW1
postal code
Richest neighbourhood in London.
Were people forced to live in unsafe
conditions….
Because they were poor?
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
82. PEOPLE LOVE TO HATE JACOB REES MOGG
Factor 2 in the story
83. Poorly chosen words….
Disrupt and bury your original message
Cause trouble for your colleagues
Earn you a ‘special’ visit with the boss
Damage your reputation
Make all further interviews more difficult.
84. Avoid Error blindness
Think critically
test your assumptions
Rehearse your answers
Talk to someone
Evaluate
Revise/repair your message
Try again.
85. Critical Thinking
Being wrong feels like
being right…
until it’s too late.
Your internal sense
that you are right is
not a reliable guide to
the external world.
89. In order to get your
story out…
You must anticipate both the good and the bad
questions
You must prepare by focusing your message
You are obliged to work hard to get your story out.
90.
91.
92. The thing about
questions…
Roughly one half of all questions asked by journalists suppress
information.
The input-output perversion: the more you put in, the less you
get out. It’s not about the question, it’s about the answer.
A strange dichotomy:
The questions that sound tough are actually easy to
answer.
96. An example of
precision answers
Donald Sterling
Owner of the NBA Los Angeles
Clippers
April 2014, banned from the NBA
Fined $2.5 million
Forced to sell his team
Private recordings of racist
comments made public.

“Communicating With Power”
“Acknowledge a reporters point if view, but
bridge back to your main message, if you
are consistently being steered away from
the subject-area you are comfortable
discussing.”
127. Please try to
be graceful…
Think of bridging as like shifting gears;
Use your own words, the ones that work
best for you;
Always answer what you can of the
reporter’s question;
Keep your tone sincere.
