Myth 3: How I think about my audience doesn't matter. Truth: How you view your listeners is more important than the words you say.

Your perception of your audience shows in:

  • Your demeanor
  • Your words
  • Your ability to be understood
  • How you look at them
  • How you talk to them

For instance, when you think (whether its true or not) that the audience doesn't care about what you are saying, you will/can:

  • Slouch, are more likely to physically stumble, drop your notes and fidget.
  • Start to stutter and forget the point of what you're saying
  • Say things like 'you might not understand this', 'its hard to understand', and 'I can never explain this well'
  • Speak too fast or slow, too softly, mutter, murmur and mispronounce words
  • Take more time than needed explaining things, or not enough time
  • Your expression will indicate that you're desperate for their attention, or sad
  • that you're not getting any, or show your frustration at not being heard.
  • Your tone of voice will be one of whining (why don't they understand me?),
  • frustration, boredom, regret, anger ect.

Replace your old views of the audience with new ones.

Here are a few examples.

  • They are eager for what you've got to say
  • They would love to take on actions that you suggest
  • You are all humans sharing a beautiful moment
