You are speaking for the audience, not to the audience.

James Whittaker
Author, The Art of Stage Presence*

“The audience will relate to your concept that you’re talking about much more than details.” -James Whittaker

You are there for the audience, not you.

“You are speaking for the audience, not to the audience.” -James Whittaker

Have the first sentence completely committed to memory. During the first 99 seconds, do one of these four things:

  1. Inspire
  2. Intrigue
  3. Interest
  4. Inform

Spend as much time on the opening as on the rest of the presentation.

Seek out small stages to practice on (your 1:1 with a manager, team meetings, etc.)

Give your attention to the people taking notes and nodding their heads and engaged with what you are saying.
