In this episode Lee explains exactly what makes people great at performing or doing what they do and how you can apply it into your personal or professional life. He also covers how you can get people to remember things that you want them to remember, especially when performing on stage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How many times have you been surprised when watching a talent show then wondered why the ‘best’ singer hasn’t won?
• There’s 2 types of emotion in this regard, the emotion that you feel and the emotion that you make other people feel.

If you’re going to achieve your goals you have to attach a piece of music that you have a emotional attachment to, so you feel something.

A desire is stronger than a want or need because you have an emotional attachment to that thing. So the lessons you teach should have emotion attached to them so your audience remembers clearly what’s been discussed.

• If you can get your audience to resonate with your message and story you’re getting across and you want them to feel as much emotion as possible. The more emotion, the better the performance.
• If you can get your customers or staff to feel emotion towards your business, then they’re more likely to be motivated to buy into your business.
• If you want to be great, then the key is getting people to feel positive emotions.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If it was me I’d remove the letter X from Xfactor and replace it with ‘emotion’’

‘Link emotion to your goals.’

‘Take your audience on an emotional roller coaster.’

‘The difference between being good or being great is emotion’
