Most speakers focus on their content, their stage presence, and their closing remarks. But the most powerful part of your talk happens before you even open your mouth—the way you’re introduced. A speaker’s bio is not their introduction, and if you’re still having someone read a long list of accomplishments, you’re missing a golden opportunity to create instant engagement.

In this highly interactive session, Hall of Fame Speaker Joel Weldon, will teach you how to craft an introduction that primes your audience, builds anticipation, and makes them excited to hear you speak. You’ll experience live “before and after” examples that show how a few simple tweaks can completely transform your introduction—and you’ll walk away with a step-by-step formula to hook your audience before you even take the stage.
