Last year, while attending an occasion I encountered two MCs I had met previously both individually and collectively at different times.
One immediately recognized me, she was so nice to me that I felt uncomfortable because most MCs aren’t nice and their shoulders are as high as their ears. The other I’ll gladly call “MC Grumpy” was flat-out cold. When I met them she asked MC Grumpy if he remembered me, he gave me one look over and flat out rudely and coldly said “No!”
I simply laughed at him in my head.
While they were on stage, I noticed people tended to be more responsive to her than MC Grumpy even though MC Grumpy was supposedly the lead MC and sadly she was back up.
I did a little digging and heard nothing but positive reviews about her and I got validation of her uniqueness from a public figure
In my recent encounter with the veritable MC WordSmith, I noticed the following; Vigor, Articulation, Brilliance, PR Skill, Vulnerability, and intelligent management of joyful self-expression. I realized her ability to win crowds over unlike MC Grumpy was in her use of inherent people and communication skills.
I was curious to know if the use of her ability was intentional or accidental. Being a sweet personality, she was kind enough to share the uniqueness of her work. She explained:
“I usually have to open
myself up to be vulnerable
so that my audience
can see me and know
that I trust them to be me
around them which in turn
makes them comfortable
to trust me too and relax.”
About MC Grumpy She continued:
“ I think some of us forget
that we receive the energy
we give.
It’s so easy to be distracted
by the crowd in front and
the power of the stage that
we forget we are just
everyday people with an
opportunity to be trusted. ”
MC WordSmith’s goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable, connected, and welcomed while she is working on stage. Simple as it is, having an MC who thinks and works like her can feel like heaven when you are a guest at a party and you know nobody expects the host.
Just like you, I’ll be in a hurry to leave any event with MC Grumpy, his stupid jokes, and his dumb games behind. I certainly remember one lady at my table calling him “lame and boring” which best describes him and others like him.
MC WordSmith is your MC if you are looking for someone who isn’t cold, stoic, tells stupid jokes, or plays weird games but instead is deliberate to connect and make your guest feel welcomed at ANY EVENT you propose to her.
