Researching Your Audience Can Make or Break Your Presentation

from Public Speaking with Peter George · host Peter George

You've done the work. Your content is solid, your slides are polished, and you feel ready — but the audience sits there unmoved. Sound familiar? In this QuickBites episode, Peter George diagnoses one of the most common and costly mistakes speakers make: skipping audience research. Before you craft a single slide or write a single word, there are six critical questions you need to answer — and Peter walks you through every one of them. From uncovering the SCOOP behind your presentation to identifying the transformation your audience will experience as a result of hearing you, these six questions form the foundation of every presentation that truly lands. Peter breaks down the difference between what your audience needs to know and what they want to know, why emotion drives action, and why "think differently" is not a call to action. Do this research, and you won't just be a speaker they politely applaud — you'll be one they remember.
