Do you want to learn how to move your people to action? In this episode Kathi is chatting with speaker coach Mary Snyder about how to motivate your audience.  That may mean encouraging people to join a movement, take part in a project, make a donation to a worthy cause, or buy a book. 

Mary shares tips that will help you craft a powerful message, including:

  1. How to avoid guilt, fear, and shame as motivators in your message.
  2. Discover who your audience is and think through what you want to achieve.
  3. The most effective way you can grab your audience’s attention.
  4. The three parts of your story to focus on.

Mary Snyder

Speaker and Podcaster

I’m Mary – a true southerner who loves the indoors. Yes, that’s right; the indoors. I like a comfortable chair and some AC. Have you been to the South in the summer? It’s like living in hot soup. I do appreciate a great view and enjoy sipping a sparkling soda on my deck, but only when the humidity is low and the temperature is comfortable.

I’m passionate about my Jesus, my people, travel, my work with speakers, and finding the next great thing. Whether gadget, app, tool, or resource; I’m an early adopter! When I’m not working, you’ll find me snuggled up on the couch with my guy and our two rescue dogs, Butch and Toby, reading a great business book.
