As speakers, many of us start out by imitating others. Then we wonder, “Why doesn’t this work for me?” Today Kathi shares the first half of a workshop from her Leverage speaker conference. She is joined by her husband, Roger, and author Michele Cushatt. They discuss the first three of four communication styles: Entertaining: Driving a point home in a memorable way using humor. Educating: Bringing a new concept to change the way an audience thinks. Inspiring: Persuading listeners to feel differently and encouraging those who feel depleted.
