Show Notes: 7 Tips to Become a Better Speaker #4 - Focus on Serving Speaking is not a transactional business. It's a relational business. Want proof? Most decision-makers won't hire you until they know, like, and trust you. Audiences won't listen to you unless you build some level of rapport and trust with them. And nothing will destroy your speaking career quicker than breaking trust with decision-makers and/or audiences. So, if you want to become a better speaker, how do you build great relationships with decision-makers and audiences? Focus on serving! For decision-makers, be an easy speaker to work with. Make them look like a hero for hiring you. Deliver on your promises. And for audiences, create an experience that is both enjoyable and educational. You want them to walk away from your presentation feeling better than when they walked in.
