3 Ways to Have a Real Conversation with your Audience

How can you converse with your audience? In the same way that you have a good conversation with a friend or colleague.

Use these three techniques to converse with your audience:

1. Look at an individual while you are speaking. Move your eyes about the audience so that you speak directly to every individual during your presentation.

2. Talk in a converstional style. Vary your pitch, pace and tone just as you would while conversing with a friend. Reading your speech will kill the conversational tone.

3. Tell short stories and anecdotes - just as you would in a normal conversation.

Do these three things and your presentations will feel fuller, more connected and more convincing.

Stop lecturing. Start having more conversations with your listeners.
