Do you insist on telling people what you want them to hear rather than asking what they need?
What audiences do you communicate with (personal and/or professional)?
How do you intentionally prepare to ‘know your audience’ each time you engage them?
What do you do differently with different audiences?
Have you ever attended a gathering where the audience was totally disengaged?
Did you wish the presenter had better engaged the audience?
Have you had experiences where the audience was not interested in what you were saying? Have you asked them what they expected?
What situations do you encounter where you could use the ‘breakaway pairs’ techniques?
How would you apply the techniques from these stories to your one-on-one situations?
