Adjust Your Trainings to Meet the Needs of Your Audience

Do you adjust your trainings to meet the needs of your audience? It can be tempting to develop a signature speech or training to share with all your audiences.

As soon as you book a speaking or training engagement, pose some questions to the person who booked you. Find out what kinds of information related to your areas of expertise are of greatest interest to the audience. Develop your speeches and training materials so that you can easily mix and match [...]
