<h2>Tips for effectively communicating with audience</h2><h3 /><h3>1. Listen first.</h3>
Whether addressing a large audience, an individual or even creating a podcast, I have always found that the best way to communicate effectively is to first listen. When you really listen, you build trust with your audience no matter whether it’s large or small.
<h3>2. Ask questions.</h3>
In my opinion, there is nothing more powerful in terms of communicating and—just as importantly—connecting with someone in person than asking them questions about themselves, and listening. The single greatest people skill is a highly-developed and authentic interest in the other person.
<h3>3. Link to what the audience cares about.</h3>
My recommendation to effectively communicate with an audience, regardless if it’s one-on-one or speaking to a large group, is to link your ideas with those things the audience already cares about.
<h3>4. Keep it simple and focused.</h3>
Steve Jobs was famous for his communication style which was simple, understandable, and focused.
We should start with a big, bold, statement to get our attention, and then explain it in a way others would understand.
<h3>5. Make phone calls.</h3>
My top advice for communicating with your audience offline is to pick up the phone. It’s not scalable, but that’s not the point. Make a habit of calling people who are important to you every day. Even a quick voicemail makes a big impression.
<h3>6. Know your audience. </h3>
People often ask for the #1 tip on public speaking and I tell them, it’s important to know your material inside and out, but it’s still more important to know your audience.
<h3>7. Be authentic.</h3>
Be authentic, be helpful, and give first. Authenticity is important because people can see through if you try to emulate a different persona or personality. Just be yourself.
<h3>8. Focus on specific channels.</h3>
There are SO MANY channels that you can use to communicate online—so the key is to focus on the intersection of where your audience is and the channel that you prefer or love the most.
