Captivation
Whether you like it or not, building an audience for your work is a performance.
- Amplify your personality - You don’t have to change who you are, you have to become more of who you are.
- Be provocative, with a purpose - Make a statement. Share a message that matters to you.
- Have a bold & compelling point of view - If you try to appeal to everyone, you will appeal to no one. Be okay with pissing some people off.
- Harness the power of stories - Too often we think that our story is not worth telling because we don’t have a big audience.
- Give people a reason to find you interesting - Your accomplishments on paper only matter to people who have no other reason to find you interesting. Your expertise in something doesn't make you interesting. Your story and the way you tell it, does.
- Emotional Resonance, heart & soul -Your emotional commitment to what you are doing will be translated directly into your work.
