Top 10 E's to Motivate and Influence an Audience
Speak with E's. Be a speaker of influence not control or guilt.
With the privilege of the platform comes the awesome
responsibility of motivating and influencing your audience to
feel/think/act differently.
1. Educate provide your audience with extensive information on
your topic. This will empower attendees to feel competent and
knowledgeable. Support your points with stories. Stories help us
see through the eyes of other people. Adults delineate their
thoughts visually.
2. Entertain give them the facts laced with a good dose of
humor. Adults learn better when they are lightening up! Here's
the place for some magic tricks, handwriting analysis or a song.
3. Experience get the audience involved. When they interact,
they get it better and retain it longer. Group exercises, simple
questions and answers, role-plays.
4. Enthusiasm vary your tone of voice, smile often, and show
passion for your subject matter.
Make your body language reflect
your comments.
5. Example be the speaker/person who motivates the audience to
admire and respect you. You have succeeded when people say, I
want to be like him/her.
6. Encourage be supportive to your audience believe in them.
Acknowledge them Say,"I did it and so can you."
7. Excellence hold yourself accountable for excellence. And then
help your audience be accountable and live up to its potential.
Speakers need to give audiences what they need, not what they
want.
8. Expertise demonstrate that you know your stuff. Speak about
what you know from your business background, personal
experiences and research. Be perceived as an expert on your
topic.
9. Eloquence deliver your speech with high energy, sincerity,
inspiration, and a sense of humor. Are you one of a kind? What
makes you different from your competitors?
10. End result you want to energize your audience to take some
risks, some action, go to the edge and execute . . .make their
dreams come true, or get the job done. Your information should
be useful and immediately applicable to their lives.
