“As a public speaking coach, I love interactive exercises and role-playing scenarios. For example, one of my media training exercises allows brave audience members to answer questions from the media like a politician. It’s an exercise that teaches a skill, reveals how people often communicate with each other, and provides a bit of entertainment.
Whatever exercise or approach someone uses to get the audience engaged, if they want willing participants they’re going to need to establish a safe and supportive environment. So I’ve found it’s critical to make my first volunteers a “compliment sandwich.” That means that regardless of how they do in an exercise, even if there’s a need for correction in some way, I start by mentioning something they did well, offer a helpful suggestion, and conclude with a compliment. This tells others that it’s not an overly critical environment and it’s safe to play along.”
