A speaker argues that moving an audience requires genuine connection, not perfection or physical proximity. True impact comes from ideas and stories that resonate, and from shared imperfections and humanity.
If you want to move your audience, you need to be connected to that audience. And sometimes that means like a physical connection where you're just getting closer, moving beyond the fourth wall. But most of the time, it simply means that your ideas, your stories resonate with your audience, that you are fully present with them in the moment. And the good news for us and I think for the world, is that we can find connection to each other across all kinds of differences and divides that exist. And we find connections especially through our imperfections and our humanness. So the goal is connection, not perfection. We got this world. Let's be connected.
