How do you keep an audience engaged when you feel them slipping away? Share your strategies.
If I notice my audience's attention waning during my speech, I often share a personal story. This strategy taps into my authenticity, creating a relatable connection. Personal anecdotes humanize the content, making it more engaging and memorable. When I recount real experiences, it resonates with the audience, drawing them back in and encouraging them to reflect on their own journeys. This connection not only re-engages them but also reinforces the key messages I want to convey.
