5 Valuable Tips to Draw the Audience to You Like a Magnet

If you want to draw the audience to you like a magnet, there are (5) valuable tips that will keep them engaged and wanting more!

1. Create a compelling memorable story. People are interested in “YOU”! By sharing a memorable story, you’re connecting with the audience at a more personal level. They now will feel more related to you and what you have to say.
2. Engage the audience throughout your presentation and make it interactive. Check in with them by asking questions.
3. Throughout your talk, share other stories about people who you helped and the results they got. People love to hear real-life stories of triumph and success.
4. End your talk with a “call to action.” What do you want as an outcome for your talk? What action do you want the audience to take?
5. Stay in touch with your audience. If you want to stay connected with them, offer to send them notes from your talk or give away a gift if they give you their business card.

Creating a Strong Foundation as a Speaker

If you want to deliver a powerful presentation, it starts with the preparation even before you go to the front of the room to speak. Here are (5) valuable tips for creating a strong foundation as a speaker.

1. Know who’s in your audience before you speak. Call the event or program planner to find out the profile of the people attending.
2. Arrive early before your presentation and walk around introducing yourself to some of the people.
3. If you’re speaking for half an hour to an hour, your talk should cover only 3-4 points.
4. Let the audience know at the beginning what you’ll be presenting and how long.
5. Speak to only one person at a time for about 4-5 seconds. Speak directly to them, not over their heads. This helps reduce nervousness, increases confidence and connection with the audience.

Why Become a Speaker?

Speaking to groups is a much more effective use of your time than speaking to one person at a time. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits to becoming a speaker.

• When you become a speaker, you immediately elevate yourself in the eyes of the audience. They see you as the expert and this establishes instant credibility.
• You’re reaching more than one person and that increases the chances of more people interested in your service or product.
• Your confidence increases. As your speaking improves, the most powerful benefit is the improvement in your overall confidence and self-image.
• Research shows that in selling, a speech demonstrating your services is 50% more effective than the most glowing testimonial.
• When you’re speaking, the audience has come to you rather than you having to find them.
