Half-venue

When an audience is smaller than you expect, it’s tempting to feel a little let down.

Get over that feeling quickly.

Lean in. Double down.

Whatever craft you bring, bring it to the fullest. This is an opportunity for you to shine.

For those who are present, let them experience the best you have to offer. Forget about the “lite” version of you. That doesn’t exist.

When you look at the audience, recalibrate: this group is now one hundred percent attendance. Serve them well.
