To work with the audience, which you want to convey some knowledge, ideas and information, there are three basic positions. I would pick these, although of course there may be another classification. It mentor, coach and elder.
For the mentor, which broadcasts in the monologue, the characteristic position of the expert, the owner of true knowledge. The position of the mentor is finding over the audience, estimated position to be outside public scrutiny. So he decides what is right and what is not, he concludes, and puts forward the unquestioned postulates.
Coach is in constant dialogue with the audience. Characterized the role of motivator of the discussion, the accumulation of opinions, arguments, and search for truth in the process of exchange of information flows. Coach is on a par with the audience. Its credibility is often acquired in the course of communication and is not imposed a priori. He asks questions, leads to the conclusions that the audience makes conscious and alone.
the Position of elder is a position with a seasoned specialist with extensive experience and examples from life of professional practice on all occasions. He seems to be outside of the classroom. The conversation becomes a series of memories and interesting events of his career. Elder, first of all interesting to myself, and it is assumed that for the audience too. His excursions into the past are a lot of statistics based on a specific fate and trajectory of the profession.
it is Clear that the above presents the types of speakers in the uncomplicated form. That is not as common. Good presentant may include in its practice all three components of work with the audience, depending on the goals that it faces at the moment.
of course, Much depends on the audience. Someone in front of you: the conditional scholars, critical-minded young professionals or crumpled life listeners.
And what type of conversation do you prefer?
As a representative of the audience?
as a "tribune"?
What is the position of audience development is the most effective? Let's deal with it.
