Podcast appearances and mentions of michael dodd

Welcome to Monday Night Live Welcome to another insightful episode of and now a leading expert on mnday Night Live! I'm Derek Arden, and this week, I'm joined by the fantastic Michael Dodd – a seasoned journalist, foreign correspondent, Media communication and interview techniques. Michael's career kicked off in Sydney with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), where he was trained in the art of asking “blowtorch on the belly” questions – tough, persistent inquiries designed to put real pressure on political figures. This phrase, coined by an Australian politician, became the backbone of Michael's journalistic style, pushing for truth and accountability. In our conversation, Michael shares his journey from covering politics in Canberra to witnessing the historic revolutions of Eastern Europe, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolution in Prague. He tells a captivating story of interviewing Václav Havel, the Czech dissident-playwright who would later become president. Havel's masterful response to a tough question about his political ambitions became a defining moment in Michael's career and illustrates how great communicators can turn pointed questions into opportunities for impactful messaging. As we shift to modern-day media dynamics, Michael offers a behind-the-scenes look at how journalists operate during high-stakes press conferences, like those with Prime Ministers or Presidents. He explains how competitive journalists, from Sky News to the BBC, often don't coordinate their questions but instead aim to deliver the sharpest queries for their respective audiences and editors. We also dive into Michael's transition from journalism to media training. He now teaches business leaders, politicians, and even sports coaches how to respond to difficult questions with confidence and clarity. His approach is rooted in integrity – always advocating for honest and effective communication rather than evasiveness. Michael introduces us to his golden formula, the ABCDE method, for crafting powerful responses to tough questions: A: Answer the question (or acknowledge it if you can't fully respond).B: Bridge – smoothly transition to your key message.C: Content – deliver your core message clearly and concisely.D: Dangle – set up your example or supporting evidence.E: Example – share a compelling story or data point to reinforce your message.Throughout the session, Michael emphasizes the importance of preparation and truth, especially in an age where disinformation can easily sway public opinion. We touch on the rise of false narratives, citing figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and the challenges this poses for credible journalism. Michael underlines the critical role journalists play in combating misinformation and holding power to account – a responsibility that's never been more vital. We also discuss how these media dynamics affect leaders in business and sports. Michael shares anecdotes from his media training with rugby league teams and how captains and managers can apply the ABCDE formula to defuse criticism and refocus on positive actions, even under pressure from hostile media or frustrated fans. From dissecting press conference tactics to reflecting on the wider implications of truth and integrity in public discourse, Michael brings a wealth of wisdom, wit, and practical advice to this conversation. For those interested in learning more about Michael's approach, he mentions his book, Great Answers to Tough Questions at Work, which dives deeper into his ABCDE strategy and how to stay composed and effective when the heat is on. If you're a business leader, media professional, or just someone keen to sharpen your communication skills, you won't want to miss this masterclass.

In this week's show How to market yourself without being pushy – that applies whether you're employed, or self employed; as I've had many requests on the subject.

I'll answer your question on the show, and invite you onto the show, if you like.

Michael Dodd, Administrator of First Choice Surgery Center in Iowa, joined the podcast to talk about how the pandemic continues to affect his ASC and the best opportunities for future growth.

IN THIS EPISODE:What is the toughest question you have faced from your most important customers?What is the toughest question you have faced from you team? How did you handle those questions? Did you answer with confidence and finesse? Or did you crumble under the pressure and end up blurting out more that you would care to share? As a business leader, you will have undoubtedly faced some really tough questions over the years. Your ability to answer them will have played a really important role in the growth and success of your business. So, what happens when you are not around? How do the account managers in your business cope under the mounting pressure of a difficult and challenging question? Are the team naturally skilled in remaining cool, calm and collected under pressure or is this an area that needs development? In this episode, I talk to Michael Dodd, international speaker, consultant and author of “Great Answers To Tough Questions At Work”. Michael works with organisations to help them deal more effectively – or EVEN more effectively – with those nightmare questions that people in business can get any time from clients, prospects, members of our own team, or even the media … particularly given the challenges we face in a climate affected by the disruption of the pandemic.  Michael brings his experience as a political journalist from Australia - and as a foreign correspondent – where he was trained to ASK the toughest possible questions. But he now helps clients to ANSWER them.   HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE:In our conversation, I put these main questions over to Michael: Is this a skill that can be learned, or are we looking for natural ability to deliver confident answers under pressure? What can we learn from people we see in the news? Can we model what good looks like from what we see on the news? How can we handle some of the most common questions that send us into a spin when we are put on the spot by clients and new prospects? I would say that this episode does cause you to reflect inwardly on your own business and team and ask: “How would you rate your team in their ability to handle tough questions from your clients?” - Option 1:  You feel confident in your team. Your action now then is: how would you model that so that new team members can also learn the art of giving great answers in your business? Option 2: This question causes your stomach to turn. Your next step then is to look at what you can do over the next few weeks to bolster this skillset and protect yourself from uncomfortable challenges. - Michael's ‘first step' advice is to start to evaluate your skillset on this by thinking about what the hardest question is that you and your team could be asked? And what's the best thing (right now) that you can respond with, on that topic? If you are at risk of facing those - what Michael calls - ‘blow torch on the belly' questions, it's clear that we need to build a culture of planning, preparing and practising so that we are consistently and confidently READY with great answers. (I reckon these need to go into your KAM Plan structure somewhere!) With communication being a huge factor to the success or weakness of the relationships with your key accounts, this really is an area that needs focus on, in the same way that we would focus on how we communicate new features of our products or service. Don't you think? Listen to the episode and let me know your experiences in tackling those tough questions. What's your survival technique? KILLER QUESTION SEGMENTIn each episode we ask you, our listener, a killer question that is designed to get you reflecting on your business, your KAM Culture and where changes in thinking and behaviour could lead to increased customer success. In this episode we asked Michael to give us his killer question which was: “What is the worse question for you?” i.e. the one that you are secretly hoping (before you walk into THAT meeting)…that...
