Ep. 281 CONNECT THROUGH THEIR CHALLENGES?
Your audience wants to know that you ‘get’ them. Today Mark and Darren examine ways to connect with your audience, identify their challenges, and help solve their problems.
SNIPPETS:
• Audiences appreciate your genuine interest in them
• Ask different individuals in your client’s organization
• Look for challenges, frustrations, and pet peeves
• Identify common concerns
• Bridge the gap between your content and their world
• If possible, attend events a day early and be observant
• Before your presentation, have hallway conversations with attendees
• Find out if they have solutions
• Name-drop; tell the story of your hallway conversation
• For connection, use photos with attendees in your presentation
• Encourage attendees to collaborate and share best practices

World-Class Public Speaking workshops lead by World Champion Speakers.
World Champion Speaker, Darren LaCroix.
Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking, 2001 Winner, Darren LaCroix. 2001 was considered by many one of the most competitive years of the speech contest. This is becomes even more interesting when you know his story of how he bombed miserably in a Boston comedy club just nine years prior. He was the least likely to be on stage making people laugh. No one ever told him, “You are funny. You should be a comedian.”
Darren’s World Championship speech is one the funniest, most talked about speeches in the history of the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking Since 1938. This World Championship Speech, "OUCH!" is also one of the most widely studied by speech contestants. Watch for yourself and see!
