Spring conference season is here! Are you leading a breakout session? Start by saying THANK YOU to the people who chose to walk into your session room! Acknowledge your audience’s discernment and good taste. They chose YOUR session, after all.
“Thanks everyone for being here. We love that you’re as interested in widget replication as we are. We’re going to cover some great stuff today!”
Whether your breakout is one of three or 350 at your company’s user conference, whether you have ten people in your room or 200, it’s wonderful to acknowledge the people who show up to your session room.
Everyone wants to feel seen and valued. When you start by seeing, valuing, and thanking your audience, you’ve already done half of what you’re in that breakout session to do.
