ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

"You can't change the character of the people around you, but..."

4:00Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Two theatre evenings in Brighton give Montemagno a contrast between audience numbers and atmosphere. He describes enjoying an event with Nigella Lawson and having a very different experience at a crowded comedy show, without naming the comedian. These personal impressions lead to his central question: which customers, colleagues and people do we want around us every day? The way we communicate helps attract a particular audience, so when choice is possible, the quality of those relationships also deserves consideration.

Key points

  • The contrast between the evenings is the speaker’s personal assessment rather than an objective judgment of audiences.
  • Growth ambitions should include asking which people and customers one wants nearby.
  • Actions and communication style help shape one’s audience and everyday atmosphere.
