Nancy Duerte says " Whether a presentation is political, corporate or academic, the audience has just four roles to fulfill once the speech is over: doers, suppliers, influencers and innovators.
1. Doers instigate activities. They are worker bees that take on physical tasks, as well as recruit and motivate other Doers to help them. These Doers can be asked to assemble, gather, decide, respond or try something.
2. Suppliers get resources. These audience members have finances, staff or materials to advance your message. The Supplier can be asked to acquire, fund, support or provide resources.
3. Influencers change perceptions. Consider these people thought leaders who can sway individuals and groups, motivating others to join your cause. The Influencer can be asked to adopt, promote, activate or empower.
4. Innovators generate ideas. These people come up with new ways to modify and spread your message. They bring their brains to the table to create strategies, perspectives and products. The Innovator can be asked to create, invent, pioneer or discover."
Based on Nancy's descriptions I think we are Innovators and Influencers. What do you think we are?
