Presentations are Magic

 In Blog

Today I’m speaking at two classes at Portland State University. It’s an Entrepreneurship and Emotional Intelligence course, and I’m totally jazzed.

(I’m putting this post together between the two classes.)

Earlier this afternoon, I was totally honored by the attention and energy I got from the audience. You can literally feel the energy of the room rise or fall based on the presentation.

And I’m tremendously thankful for the pressure a presentation demands for the speaker to <em>clarify thoughts</em>.

When a speaker honors the audience with his or her best, and the audience honors the speaker with full attention, magic happens and ideas are exchanged.

How are you honoring your audience?
