    Holly molly! I don't care about business or sales or making speeches, but the way he talks is so bloody captivating, I ended up watching more of the videos!! lol AND in addition I learn a lot from them too, which I think will be a great help to me when I go for job interviews in future. It even helps with my poetry when I make audio versions of it! Fascinating stuff!

    The notion of speech in most people is having a big audience. Just forget it. Speech is the physical ability to just talk. Think talking to someone. Then no "rules" or "tricks" to remember (or be forgotten). "Speak about what you know/feel, and no one will ignore you"

    Three ways to start a speech (summary): 3) With a question that matters to the audience. Phrase a problem that the audience faces. 2) A fact that shocks: i.e. there are more people alive today than have ever died. Every 2 minutes, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is equal to all the energy used by all its people in one year 1) The same way we start a story to a child: "Once upon a time..." Makes us lean forward, makes us ready to hear. All trained as kids to know when a story's coming. - assume self interest; tell a story from your own life about something you find meaningful - don't talk about the software; talk about the people who make the software - they need to trust you before they decide to act

    In my high school speech class, we were told to tell the audience what we were going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them. That way it sinks in and will be memorable. I did that and won the speech competition. In sales it was called features and benefits. This is what it does and this is how you benefit from what it does. That and you have 2 ears and 1 mouth; listen twice as much as you talk. Good advice for your life.

    Awesome advice - telling stories takes presentations to the next level! There are some other interesting tips I have also heard of from other coaches and leaders that I would love you to comment on: 1) start with a silent pause prior to uttering your first word to build up anticipation and attention after taking a deep breath and "landing" in your starting stance first; 2) jump into your story or first idea - do not introduce yourself or display gratitude for being invited to speak; 3) end with the same energy you start with.

    First off, the point Abb AB made is extremely poignant and demonstrates both courtesy to the previous speaker as well as an acknowledgment of the purpose of the entire event as a cohesive whole. I’d like to add to that by saying, it might be a similarly good idea to mention the upcoming speaker after you, or perhaps reference the upcoming presentations somehow in your speech. Something like, “I’m excited to hear about what the upcoming speakers will discuss on this aspect of the topic at hand.” After all, this particular video asked the question of both how do you start a speech and how do you end one. Looking forward to what others might say in this comment thread as well. Peace ✌️

    This guy had good content that he read and put together, however, his physical characteristics of a speaker are terrible. He picks at his nose several times as if there was a pimple inside, and scratches at his face a lot. His suit looks like he picked it up at Goodwill used clothing, and two sizes too big. Other than that, the other half of a good presentation is your appearance and of course body language.

    Great topics on how to start and engage your audience. I also, as a teacher/coach for 13 years, now in sales for 15 plus years, like to throw in a little humor during my talk time. It helps to keep whoever you are talking to engaged. It’s real easy to see cues that you are losing them. Especially in a sales pitch. At that point, you’ve lost them and maybe the sale. Be quick, concise with points, get them engaged and asking questions.

    Thank you for posting your interesting approach to public speaking. As a military instructor charged with making astronautics interesting and relevant to non-technical people, I found a good opening for each new class was: "How many of you have been in space or want to go?" After a pause of several seconds, suggest "Every one of us has, and is, at this moment, in space, aboard Spaceship Earth. We are space travelers riding this large rock and going about a billion kilometers around our star, the Sun, every year. If you do the math, that means our huge planet is traveling a little over 100,000 kilometers per hour in our orbit." pause for effect. "As a child I was fascinated by those people who left the atmosphere of our Spaceship's surface and went into freefall around our planet orbiting every 90 minutes or so at more than 28,000 kilometers per hour. I learned years later that someday, humans will need to venture out to find a new spaceship when in a billion years or so, our sun begins to expand to once day incinerate our planet and moon and everything between our star and us. How will we decide where to go, who to send, and what they will take with them? How will we communicate with them over vast distances where radio transmissions take months and years instead of seconds? We need to learn how to leave while keeping our ship alive long enough to provide the things we will need to go out to other stars, and galaxies; to ensure our species survives, and thrives." another pause. "We are all space farers, like it or not. Who is ready to learn about this fascinating subject?"

    everyone likes to vomit his biggest toxic waste on other people (so he also likes when they throw it back to him? which is called responsibility ...), maliciousness is the only joy in life, isnt it? or the reason why i always thought that emotions are rather toxic and hostile, because they are? or do you find attacks and aggression (from other people) good and you like them? so there is no reason to return them to people?

    First two sentences in Arthur C. Clark's 2001: A Space Oddyssey: "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth." There you have it, you can actually do an introduction with an interesting fact without lying (at that time in 1968, the ratio is probably lower now).

    I worked with a man close to 20 years. He is a special man. An Irishman. A kind, sincere and ethical man. He took a 20 million dollar annual business to 1.5 billion dollars annually, within 30 years of its operation. He has the knack of making people listen and for telling true stories in an utterly captivating and convincing manner that his 6,000 strong employees rally behind him and the company's every objective. How did he achieve all that? Together with many other disciplines and actions, he also utilizes the 3 possible ways in making a speech that Conor Neil mentions in this talk. Of-course this man was way ahead of Conor and possessed this skill inherently. Yet the fact is - Niel's theories are absolutely spot-on and have produced phenomenal results when followed. Well done Neil.
