Your Audience Needs To Warm Up

Garth Beyer

There’s a reason comedy shows and live performances have openers.

Sure it’s a chance for that artist to strut their stuff and perhaps grow their following, but, above all, they are there to warm the audience up for the main act.

Unfortunately, life’s daily routines don’t include openers.

When we enter a meeting, it’s unlikely those who are in your meeting just had one that warmed them up for yours. (If anything, chances are they’re colder now because of the one before.)

And warm ups before a client presentation? Forget about it.

Fortunately, we can add in our own openers if we choose.

We can choose to start a meeting with an inspiring quote before we dive in. We can start it with a story. We can start it with snacks. (All the above maybe?)

Without an opener, it’ll be an uphill battle.

Why fight it when you don’t have to?

Stay Positive & Add Your Openers
