You vividly remember that special speaker’s message and stories years—or decades—after hearing the talk. It had a huge impact on your life. You want your presentations to be that magical and memorable. You’re a good speaker—perhaps very good—but know you could be even more unforgettable.
Why do some speeches stay in our minds long after the speaker has left the stage? How can you integrate some new elements of outstanding orators?
This session will look at the key elements that create a memorable and repeatable experience for listeners.
You will hear:
• How to “yank ’em in and throw ’em out”—creating that exceptional opening that pulls the audience right up on the stage with you. . .and closing in a way that makes them beg for more.
• Structure—it doesn’t “freeze” you, it “frees” you—why an audience loves transparent structure even when they don’t consciously recognize it.
• Being the story, not telling the story—right, you’ve heard this before, but we’ll tell you exactly how it’s done. . .on Broadway, in novels, and in your presentations.
• Truly speaking to “an audience of one”—what are those magical little phrases and transitions that make each audience member feel you are speaking only to them. . .and in an almost intimate way at that?.
• Voice as a finely tuned instrument—ironically, one of the most ignored assets by many speakers. We’ll show you the way to use your voice like Yo Yo Ma uses the cello.

Tired of chasing the latest technology-dependent business model? Exhausted at the idea of having to post another tweet, blog, Facebook or LinkedIn update? Want a dependable income model that allows you to speak in your home town (if you want)—and get paid really well to do it?
During four decades, Ed has perfected this model. He’ll share how he fills his 3-day programs by selling dozens of seats to the same handful of companies over and over and over again. His 80-person courses are full far in advance without any ongoing marketing, giving him time to speak more—if he wants—or go on a motorcycle trip. And he never has the stress of updating his PowerPoints or having his technology fail—he doesn’t use any!
This 77-year-young speaker has lots to share with other, less experienced speakers. Learn to adapt his ideas to your market and life preferences and you’ll be as energetic as he is!
You will learn how to:
• identify and approach companies you want to work with
• sell the program once and have a steady stream of participants that lasts for years, if not decades
• use this model when a traditional approach for public workshops doesn’t
• capitalize on why companies value this approach better than having a speaker/trainer conduct in-house workshops
• double your participants and increase their take-away value with one easy suggestion
• maintain this model, even with diminishing education budgets
