Five Surefire Ways to Draw the Audience to You Like a Magnet

The goal of every speaker is to hold the audience’s attention right from the start and all the way to the end. If you accomplish this, you’ll have people lining up wanting to work with you. Here are five ways to draw the audience to you like a magnet…

1. Engage with the audience right from the start by asking questions, sharing a story, or giving factual information.
2. Have them stand up and introduce themselves, their businesses, and what they want to get out of the event.
3. Learn their names, so you can refer back to them when speaking. This will keep them keenly listening to what you say. They also feel important because you’ve remembered their names.
4. Make it interactive by having them do exercises and then have them share in pairs or groups.
5. As you give your talk, speak directly to the audience members. This quickly connects you with the audience and them to you.
