“How can you teach young jocks to ‘be real’ — to break out of the ‘I’m a DJ’ persona and become communicators?”
Help them identify what they want to share with listeners.
What they want to communicate = ideas, emotions, perspectives, information.
As both a writer and a performer, I try to communicate a perspective. This blog doesn’t offer “information;” it attempts to elucidate my perspective on personality radio.
What they want to share = the parts of themselves they are willing to expose to help maximize the communication.
If you were to read through all of the articles I have written for this blog, looking for clues to my inner identity, you would be able to piece together an incomplete yet still revealing representation of who I am as a human being.
Before your staff members can share themselves with your audience, they need to deteremine which aspects of their personalities and their lives they are willing (and allowed) to share.
