How To Lose A Crowd In 10 Ways

For those of you who communicate to audiences of any size, here are some common traps to avoid…

Be absorbed in yourself and how interesting you think you are
Keep talking long after you’ve communicated your point
Don’t have a point
Have 14 points (and 7 sub-points and 2 recaps)
Hope people will be equipped and motivated by your content even though you aren’t
Use clichés constantly
Ignore visual cues and verbal feedback that you’re missing the mark, because hey… you’ve got the microphone
Communicate only in the style that comes naturally to you
Say all the right words but in monotone, while slouching and avoiding eye contact
Decide you’ve got nothing to learn about communication
