I am fully aware I have less than 8 seconds to capture your attention with my videos.
If you click away, that’s my fault; it’s my job to keep your attention.
The same thing can be said about public speaking opportunities. We have a short timeframe to hook the audience’s attention and give them a reason to listen intently throughout the entire duration of our speech.

If you want to catch more videos that will help make you a better public speaker, make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my channel!
