In my experience, in the West, we focus on the externally visible body language and observable mannerisms. In the East, we focus on the inner reality which is invisible and yet powerfully influencing our body language and non verbal signals we emit. From the books of the Indian mystic, Osho, I found a few questions to ask myself before speaking to a global audience: 1. Am I standing on the same side of the fence with the audience or am I approaching them as if I am on the opposite side of the fence? 2.

There is a saying that people won't truly remember what you said but will remember how you made them feel. So setting an intention to add value to the audience goes a long way. The non verbal cues of smiles, laughter and the energy you exude speaks VOLUMES. People can sense energy & even though they may not understand exactly what you said - when you set an intention to connect to every single person from your heart space -they can "read your energy
