• One of elemen to make your imagination
stronger as Public Speaker is to get energy,
but how?
• Energy from yourself  everybody have the
energy even some have charisma (talent)
• Energy from the audiens  audiens want the
speaker success ? Dont believe? The fact they
pay attention and give their time to be
informed, entertained and educated
Lets see the power of Audience
• I have to choose 2 person as my assistants
• They help me to :
– Divide audience in to groups (7-10)
– Distribute , collect the paper & pen to/from the audience
– Choose the funiest & awful statement/request make by
group
• The success of the event coz my assistance cooperate
with me. Thanks to them. They will have the positive
energy overwhelm transfered from the audience, coz
audience appreciate dan give positive feedback to the
presenter

Let’s go crazy game
• Ask the group to take a small piece of paper
which can be folded & used as a chit. Ask
them to write down the following 3 things:
• From (Dari): Name of the group
• To (Untuk): Name of other group
• Task: Any task that the group would like the
person in "to" to perform in the room/on
stage
+/- 5 minutes per presentation for each group
• How is it played: Ask the participants to fold the
piece of paper, after filling the information, in a way
that the information is not seen. After that, start
picking up the chits one by one & ask the person in
"from" column to perform the task that s/he has
given to the person in the "to" column. There will be
a lot of embarrasment & fun.
• Moral: Why do we expect others to do things which
sometimes we are incapable of doing?
• Source of this game : Empathy game Jerry Pardiwala
(India), but we want to explore the feeling of the
presenter or MC
