The Importance of Conversation in Public Speaking
Public speakers often underestimate the power of engaging the audience in conversation during their presentations. Instead of solely presenting information, speakers can enhance their impact by facilitating discussions among attendees. An effective practice involves asking participants to share personal experiences, such as asking, 'When's the last time you cried in front of someone?' This approach allows individuals to connect with each other, resulting in memorable experiences where the audience feels seen and heard, often perceiving this interaction as the most valuable part of the talk.
