There are no bad audiences–only audiences on a different level.
Nobody wants someone yelling in your face when you’re tired, no matter how happily they yell. You can’t shove RAH RAH RAH down peoples’ throats, as many a corporate team-building day has proven.
So what do you do? meet them where they are.
Don’t try to drum up energy that isn’t there. Instead, start soft. Start small.
Gradually, the energy of the shared space rises, bringing the audience and performers up together. The show is more precise and less flamboyant. And love them as hard as you can
When someone cuts me off in traffic: I wonder if his wife is giving birth in the backseat of that Ferrari? Or maybe his Tesla?
This reminds me of the difference between a caller and a listener. One is not any better Than the other. Both are extremely valuable. And I am so appreciative of all of you!
So what’s the difference?
To me everyone is a listener because everyone is listening to the message.
A caller, again to me, is someone who leaves a message.
I should clarify that saying “hi” is a message. I don’t think you all understand how important and powerful just that one word can be. You don’t have to leave some brilliant thought. Just saying “hi” lets me know that you’re a listener AND a caller.
With the system I use i have no idea how many people call only how many leave messages.
Of course you don’t have to leave any message. Just know that it means so much to me.
When you leave messages you get to be on the weekly roundup too. After all, we can’t let Karin steal the show all the time can we?
Be sure to listen in tomorrow for a very special message.
Have a diamond day
