Itzhak Perlman at 80 reminds us: presence and connection matter most

What happens when you’re on stage and suddenly feel your audience slip away? In this Creatives at Work episode of Your Creative Mind, Izolda Trakhtenberg shares why losing an audience isn’t a failure. It’s a normal part of creative life. And, more importantly, how you can bring people back with confidence and grace.

Take the fear out of losing your audience with these practical tools.

Drawing on lessons from seeing the legendary Itzhak Perlman live at the Beacon Theatre, Izolda breaks down three practical techniques any artist, performer, or speaker can use to re-engage a drifting audience. You’ll walk away with tools to strengthen your stage presence, connect more deeply in the moment, and transform tension into trust. If you’ve ever wanted to communicate with clarity, courage, and impact, on stage or off, this episode will help you do just that.
