265: 3 Ways to Love Your Audience with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz

Show Notes

We’re wrapping up the month of February talking about how we as speakers can love our audiences.

Why is this important? 

Because the more connected the people in our audience feel to us and to each other, the more impactful and memorable our presentations and talks will be.

And here’s the thing about loving our audiences: it’s about relationship, which is much different from the standard approach to public speaking which tends to put all of the spotlight on the speaker.

In this episode, which is the audio from our LinkedIn Live show, we share 3 ways you can love your audience.
