Carlo shares why great actors listen with more than their ears, what happens when we focus too much on what we are going to say next, and why your audience should be treated more like a scene partner than a group of passive observers.\n\nWhether you’re presenting, leading a team, meeting with a client, or simply having an important conversation, there are some great lessons here about being present and making a genuine connection.\n\nLet’s dive in.\n"}
