I’d like to be able to tell you that every audience that you will address will be excited to hear you talk and are open to your message because they understand the importance of public speaking. However, as we all know this is not the case. There will be times that as you stand on that stage you will be able to feel the hostility coming from your audience. When you find yourself in a situation like this, you need to know how to deliver your speech in a way that will prevent your audience from tuning you out and may allow you to build bridges to them.
