When you are communicating to a group, increase your ability to connect with the following three tips.
1. Entertain: An audience loves to be entertained. This does not mean you need to perform stand up comedy or sing. If you integrate a personal story or a humorous story, you will increase the engagement with your audience.
2. Educate: Knowing your audience can help you decide how much teaching you need to do. Explaining the meaning of your data or words can increase the benefit for many in your audience.
3. Motivate: Let people know the purpose of your message, and your expectation for their next step. Motivate them to take action.
This week’s tips seem simple, but reviewing and practicing your message with these three things in mind can help you connect successfully. As Anthony Robbins has said, “The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.”
