Today, the best public speakers emulate a fireside chat atmosphere.

How to Apply This

  1. Imagine sitting by a fire and telling stories to your favorite friends.
    To make the audience feel even more special, speak as if you are sharing a secret.

  2. To make people feel even more special, give them one to two seconds of eye contact.
    This is actually enough time for them to feel special during the speech.

  3. Use the strategies described in Chapter 5 of this book.
