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.

This unit is not just about theory. It's about practical application. It will equip you with the skills to introduce your channel effectively, be it your online radio station, podcast, audio & video streaming platform, etc. and set the stage for a successful show. Think of your channel or platform as the highway on which your show is driven. It has its own business purpose, vision, mission, and values, and it follows specific policies, procedures and methodologies in delivering value to all its clients and stakeholders.

It sounds easy to introduce the guest of a talk show, from external view. If you hosted a radio talk show before, and had to introduce the guest you were meeting for the first time, you will appreciate the importance of time to prepare this short but important part of a talk show.

THE ART OF INTRODUCING THE CO-HOST OF A TALK SHOW! The talk show host must either introduce or facilitate the introduction of the co-host. In doing so, they must be respectful and acknowledge the co-host for who they are to the listeners. If the co-host is comfortable, they must introduce themselves. You can do that by allowing them to say a few words about themselves and refer the listeners to further sources about them, like social media platforms.

On Tuesday, March 12th, 2024, at COMETSA Radio Worldwide (CRW), we discussed self-introduction as a host of a digital online radio talk show. This is part of the COMETSA Digital Online Streaming Mastery Development Program. There is a strong business case to master the art of introducing yourself as the host or co-host of any talk show, particularly for online radio, wherein the listeners do not see you. They can only hear your voice, which is your identity to which they relate. Secondly, you must respect your guests and listeners and not dominate the show. Your role is to hold the space, engage with the guests, and serve the listeners' interest. You’ll need to know what to include and leave out of your introduction. The rule of thumb is to make your self-introduction as short as possible. Since you are the host, you should introduce yourself immediately after opening the show and introducing the platform, the online radio station. That is followed by the guest's introduction and the conversation topic. Could you remind the listeners who you are in the middle of the show? In the same way, it would be best to do that with your guest, the platform, and the topic. As part of your preparation, you should produce the hosting script that spells out your self-introduction approach. The goal is to bring discipline into your self-introduction. There is no qualification for an excellent self-introduction. Our experience and perspective guide our conscience and define our uniqueness. There are many good hosts in the broadcasting and streaming sectors that we can benchmark against and learn from. However, we are all expected to develop our unique styles. This Unit 6: Conduct 1, Self-Introduction, focuses on crafting an engaging self-introduction, leveraging personal branding principles, to make a memorable first impression. The unit is accompanied by the Personal Branding (CDC), https://cometsa-goc.com/personal-branding-cdc/ offered by the COMETSA Business Academy (CBA). This is a public episode.
