Let’s talk more. I want to know what you’re teaching them. Are you recording or doing any live streaming at all? I agree with you that not many people tell the audience how to build community.

I am excited as I will be telling people how to build an online community – particularly in the 2 hour workshop I’ll be running. I find many presenters talk about community but few tell you how to build one!

Thanks for the advice.

Share your insights and knowledge from a practical standpoint. I found that real life examples of how the people in the audience can reach their goals is key. And take questions throughout.

Make your presentation brief with talking points that will prompt the stories and examples you want to provide. Talk to people, not at them via PowerPoint presentation.

Any tips on presenting you’d care to pass along? I am due to give three presentations and run a community building workshop in Finland next week!
