Description

I was recently asked this question:

“How to engage the audience? I love watching speakers who engage the crowd but don't put people on the spot?’

Putting people on the spot is NOT an engagement technique and it can often have negative impacts on the audience.

So, in this week’s episode I’m sharing my top tips for engaging your audience without singling people out, or putting them on the spot.

Listen in to hear:

  • How to build rapport and engagement in your opening statements

  • My technique for asking questions that your audience WANTS to respond to

  • Important body language and hand gestures that invite responses (for both stage and online conversations)

  • How to phrase your questions to elicit audience responses

  • How to build engagement momentum
