Jasper is presenting at a seminar to the same audience for the second day in a row. He feels the audience was very receptive to his message yesterday. To keep his audience engaged today, he should:
Answer
A
stick to the same strategies he used yesterday that worked well to keep the audience’s attention
B
take a moment at the beginning to ask a few audience members about their experience yesterday and what they are expecting out of the presentation today
C
find out the size of the audience, the location of the presentation, and analyze the diversity of the audience by considering all subgroups in attendance
D
acknowledge controversy and ask the audience for careful consideration of the message he’ll be presenting today
Explanation
Jasper already knows that the audience responded well yesterday, but keeping people engaged today means involving them and connecting the presentation to what they want to learn. Asking a few audience members what they took from yesterday and what they expect today can help him make the session feel relevant. Simply repeating yesterday’s strategies may not address today’s expectations, and the other choices focus on information or concerns that may not apply.
