Public Speaking Tip: Sensitive Audience Members

If you are planning to do a lively presentation that involves the
audience members, you must be careful of what you say at the
beginning of your speech.

Some audience members would rather have you sit down so they
could be the star on stage, but others dread the thought of even
being noticed while they are sitting in the audience.

Here is a critical phrase you can adapt and say during the
beginning of your presentation to help the sensitive members of
the audience relax and pay attention to your content.

"We're going to have lots of fun and interaction today, but don't
worry. You won't be put on the spot to do anything you don't want
to do."

That simple phrase will help all of your audience members enjoy
your presentation without anxiety.
