Imagine my thrill as I read respected author Seth Godin declare that any great presenter must have two qualities – respect from the audience and love for the audience! Take a look at his post at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/03/the-two-elements-of-a-great-presenter.html..
Then read my post at http://sz.self-expression.com/don%e2%80%99t-talk-to-strangers-how-caring-for-your-audience-helps-stage-fright-and-fear-of-public-speaking/
Love is a vibrational frequency that attracts. Love is not only the answer to stage fright, it is also a large part of being a great presenter. When you can stand in front of an audience and love yourself and them, you create a quality of connection that is magnetic. You draw the audience to you through your love for them. And they feel it!
In order to be a great presenter, Seth tells us that we also need to receive respect from the audience. I think respect is earned through authenticity. When we share our ideas, insights, emotions and expertise in a way that is true to ourselves, listeners can sense that as well.
