And That’s How In Short We Will Conquer The World!
Was reminded of an important lesson a couple of minutes ago as I was preparing for this evening’s communications workshop: Schmooze Your Way To Success - How To Build A Personal Network That You Can Count On.
Something that is straightforward and simple to you may not necessarily be the case for your audience. This is a blindspot that often many speakers commit. The curse of being too familiar with their own materials.
I was running through my materials with my sister and somehow I felt that what I am going to teach today may appear too simple. And that was when she reminded me that something simple to me may not necessarily be so for the audience. Especially since I have done so much research on the topic, there is a tendency for me to overwhelm the audience with too much information. Make sense.
So the next time you prepare for a presentation or a speech, get someone who resembles your audience’s background to listen in. Their feedback would be extremely precious if you want to delight your audience!
Wish me luck.
I just saw this post today. Gosh missed the schmooze session. Is there going to be another one soon?
Hey Terry, there will be more coming up so no worries. You may like to leave me your name and email address at this page so that you will be automatically informed when another schmooze session comes up.
