Audience connection

Explore the ideas connected to this part of speaking.

Plan for the people who will actually hear the speech. These articles examine audience questions, purpose, useful examples, and the difference between attention and understanding. Avoid assumptions based only on a job title or demographic label. Ask what listeners already know, what they need next, and what action is realistic for them. Use those answers to choose a form, edit a story, or design a specific rehearsal goal.
