- While public speaking we often here think of your audience as advice but rather than think of it as an advice think of it as a technique to get better. - An important part of this is to know your purpose. What are you trying to achieve exactly and what is everyone there for? I think this is in particular very important for me to keep in mind while conducting teacher's meetings. - Before a meeting or speech it's also a good idea to do some homework or reflection on who the people are and what they might be there for. ---- #curiousminds 185: John Bowe on Mastering Public Speaking
