When Stacey Shipman was in 6th grade, she won the “Quietest Girl” award and now she is a brave communication expert who helps people do things they think they can’t do. This episode is all about the art of the interaction and how to create a genuine connection with your audience through engagement. She teaches us:
- The first step to go from presenting a monologue to creating an interactive experience
- What the “Rule of Threes” is and how to use it
- How to incorporate humor into the questions you ask your audience
- The biggest mistakes speakers make when trying to engage the crowd
She says, “A presentation is a work of art. It’s a creative opportunity to put words together and deliver them verbally. It’s a living thing.” She also shows us a unique way to quickly build trust with our audience, how to show up as yourself instead of someone you think you “should” be, and so much more. If you want to learn how to build a meaningful conversation and a memorable experience for your audience, you don’t want to miss today’s episode of Claim the Stage!
