How to feel your connection with your audience before you even begin speaking
9 exercises you can use in rehearsal and before you take the stage
Try it, Feel it, Take it with you and you will create connection
When you present
you need to be attending to three things simultaneously
- what you are saying and how the content needs to develop,
- your audience and how they are responding to your content so that you can adjust to their needs,
- and building connection with your audience.
What if you had a head start on that connection?
What if you already felt the connection as soon as you faced them, ready to begin?
What if you didn't have to spend the first section of your presentation building that feeling?
.
In this slide show, I have put together nine activities you can use to build that feeling of connection. Practise them beforehand and then just turn on the muscle memory when you come to the presentation.

It's the way elite sportsmen and women who prepare for success. They practice. They practice alone on the driving range, on the court, in the gym until the moves that will bring them success are automatic. They don't have to create the golf swing or the dunk-shot or the somersault. It comes naturally. The same can be said about public speaking. It is possible to develop the "muscle memory" for connection fluency on your own or in front of your friends and family before you ever hit the stage.
