How to Succeed Using Your Emotional Intelligence to Influence Your Audience
In preparation for your next big opportunity to exert influence, prepare yourself with strategies taken straight from Mr. Rogers’ of PBS:

• Understand your strengths and how you communicate best
• Understand your audience and speak to what they value
• Make a personal connection with the person you address
• Remember, the only way to be authentic is to be yourself
• Stay focused on your message when distracting emotions bubble to the surface
• Use inclusive language to create common ground
• Be polite and respectful with questions and answers (I know, obvious)
