Totally agree. There’s this one bit of knowledge I finally grasped yesterday after over a year of public speaking practice with Toastmasters and a Dale Carnegie course, that is a consequence of the “state-of-the-heart technology”, and that is a sense of proximity to the audience. There’s this magic quote I read in Lilly Walters’ book “Secrets of successful speakers” from Cavett Robert that says, “They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
Thank you for the comment, Sebastián. The “know how much you care” quote is one of my favourites and, as you point out, so very important for speakers to understand.
