Know Your Audience
“Testing…1, 2, 3, is this mic on?” You look up and are surrounded by grandparents, parents, infants, uncles from Wichita, aunts, nephews, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, caterers, and even the band…you’re about to go on stage...good luck! You’re not in Heaven though, you’re about to give the biggest speech of your life. The good news is the people around you are already blushing for you; their expectations are that you’re going to dive bomb right on stage, and possibly run off. With this mindset and the multiple drinks and counting they’ve had… they’re actually your new best friend. They want you to succeed-heck it’s the American Way! They want to laugh and cry with you. Ultimately, they want to turn to their loved ones and whisper, “that was so sweet.”
