August 1st, 2013Fantastic insights from Public Words.
Nick Morgan and David Meerman Scott, two writers with valuable things to say about words, co-wrote a great post about a recent Rolling Stones concert in Boston (title above).
Indeed, what does the 69-year-old rock star have to teach us? A lot. Here’s a summary.
1. PRECISION.
Jagger doesn’t miss a beat or waste a movement. Practice makes perfect.
2. FOCUS.
He’s always totally focused on the most important thing: his audience.
3. EMOTION.
Music is a great short-cut to emotional connection. Jagger uses it to the fullest.
4. FITNESS.
Jagger trains five to six days a week to get his incredible stamina.
5. TECHNOLOGY.
Don’t take the tech details for granted, even if it’s just a sound check.
6. STAGECRAFT.
A true star, he knows how to work the stage to maximize the impact of audience interaction.
What else can we learn from star performers? I’d love your thoughts.
