Audience Instructions: Better Audience = Better Speaker!

Updated: May 27

Better Audience = Better Speaker 


Audience Instructions: Better Audience = Better Speaker!

Arrival

  • Be at the venue well ahead of time.

  • Find your seat and sit down.

  • Arriving late is disruptive to the speaker and audience.


For a Successful Presentation.

  • There are specific things the Audience should do.

    • Meeting the Speaker before the Event.

      • Makes a connection that helps them perform better and increase your take-away.

    • Sit so your Whole Body faces the Speaker.

    • Don’t sit with Arms Crossed.

      • This closes you off to new ideas and the speaker’s message. It sends a negative non-verbal message to the presenter.

    • Be an Active Listener.

      • Lean towards the speaker and listen intently.

      • Make eye contact with the presenter.

      • When you agree with the presenter, nodding your head in agreement sends positive feedback.


If you want to Ask a Question.

  • Wait till the proper time.

  • Don’t interrupt by waving your hand.

  • When asking, be polite even if you disagree with the speaker.


DON’T:

  • Talk to others, text, eat, drink, or do anything that could be distracting to the audience or speaker.


When the Presentation Ends – APPLAUD!

  • The speaker put time, thought, and effort into their speech. That should be respected and acknowledged.


Thank the Speaker

  • Shake their hand mentioning specific things gained from the presentation.


Better Audience = Better Speaker

Following these Audience Instructions will insure you, and other attendees will receive the Best Presentation the Speaker can Deliver!
