I’ve been re-reading a book about engaging audiences called Resonate: Present Visual Stories That Transform Audiences, by Nancy Duarte. The full book is available to read online, but I also bought the print copy because I like to support people who provide free materials (that’s another topic!)
The book is full of gems about connecting with people, presenting new ideas, and compelling others to question their own ideas and beliefs. As I leaf through the book, this time using a dog training lens, so many things are popping out at me! If you get a chance to browse through, do you see what could help you with your own practice? Here are questions I’ve jotted down so far:
- What are some ways to make information meaningful?
- How much of what you say to clients is about YOU? Your knowledge and experience? Your reasons for doing x? Your beliefs?
- How much “noise” do you contribute to your classes?
