[QUOTE="Keia, post: 1504526, member: 98"] Hightower Convention Center, Downtown, Coast City April 16 20:12 Seeing the change in emotions, Steven leaned in close to her and said quietly, “You can tell me.” After the exchange with Sandra, Steven smiled and strode confidently up the stage and to the podium. He looked over the crowd before speaking, using the adjusting of the microphone to cover his placement of the crowd. He adjusted his opening joke and comments based on the reaction of the crowd to his introduction. “Ladies and Gentleman . . . for those of you new to the area, welcome to Coast City. I hope your visit has been pleasant thus far . . . and if so, I’ll try my best to keep that trend going,” Steven added with a wry grin. “For the rest of you in the crowd, all of you are aware of what Coast City has to offer . . business, pleasure, sports, finance . . . the list goes one and on. The City also has . . . .” Steven continued his speech, adjusting his opening joke to the amount of locals or visitors in the crowd based on his opening comments. From there, he took the moral of the joke and rolled into the central theme of his speech, teamwork and cooperation – regardless of color, race, or current genetic makeup. Emphasizing growth as individuals in our acceptation of each other as a means to work, and play, better together, the speech consistently fell back on the initial joke. As most good comedians did, Steven hit the joke again and again, making the situation funnier each time . . . or so he hoped. Constantly, Steven altered the speech based on the audience response. All the while he blended the theme of growth of the individual through acceptance and teamwork, and the possible synergies and developments that could come about as a result. Steven wound up his speech, glancing at his watch and winking in Sandra’s direction. He mentioned that he hoped everyone enjoyed the rest of the conference and said he looked forward to the rest o the speakers. He thanked everyone for their attention and finished up. Steven then walked off of the stage and waved to the audience in acceptance of their applause, heading back either to Sandra, if she was intercepting him, or back to his seat by Maggie. [/QUOTE]
