Talkative Audiences
Execupundit
JUNE 9, 2011
I've heard people say, "Oh, it's a small audience at that workshop. I've found that large audiences encourage more discussion because audience members are less conspicuous; they can hide in the forest. People will be very talkative." Not in my experience. Say something in a small group and you may as well be on stage. Large groups are less inhibited. They are ready to rock and roll. They're away from the office drinking coffee, checking out one another, and planning lunch.

I just looked over the list of a group of people who signed up for one of my Leadership Lessons Learned briefings for October. As was the case with my September briefing, it's an impressive group.

If you share a message with an audience and it doesn’t make sense to them or they aren’t able to connect with it, did they really hear what you had to say? You’ve probably heard the philosophical question “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” That same concept applies to communication.
