LeraChenchevaya wants everyone to have a better touring experience, which is why
she offers several helpful ways for professional tour guides to become better
and more effective guides into our past, present and future.
Address
the Crowd, Not the Subject
Be sure
to always face the people you’re speaking to, says Lera Chenchevaya, not the
topic you’re discussing. Keep yourself aware at all times of the direction your
facing, and if you can be heard by members of the crowd.
Make it
Relatable
It helps
to get your point across more effectively, says Lera Chenchevaya, if you impart
a personal anecdote here and there within the course of the tour. Anecdotes
help to create more of a personal connection with the audience, and are a great
way to garner and hold onto people’s attention.
Keep It
Moving
Keep your
tour moving as quickly as possible, says Lera Chenchevaya. Don’t let your group
become stagnant or stuck in a particular position or area. Talk as you move,
and make sure everyone is keeping up with the group.
