SUMMARY:NSA SoCal: Jenny Locklin & Joel Weldon\, CSP\, CPAE (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Your Introduction is Not Your Bio:\nHow to Connect with Your Audience Before You Even Take the Stage\nhttps://nsasocal.org/events/august-14-2026/ \nMost 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. \nIn 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. \nMeet Joel Weldon\, CSP\, CPAE & Jenny Locklin\nJoel Weldon\, CSP\, CPAE is a Hall of Fame speaker and a founding member of the National Speakers Association. With over 3\,000 paid speaking engagements under his belt and more than 10\,000 speakers personally coached\, Joel has spent a lifetime helping others turn their messages into unforgettable experiences. He’s the creator of the Ultimate Speaking System—an online course used by professionals across industries to elevate their communication skills. While some people can do and others can teach\, Joel does both—and he does them brilliantly. \nJenny Locklin is Joel’s sidekick\, speaking partner and youngest daughter. She is the creator of The Undercover Speaker- where she’s introduced as a serious expert\, client\, or industry professional… until the surprise twist reveals she’s actually there to deliver a message filled with laughter\, connection\, and perspective. \n https://nsasocal.org/events/august-14-2026/
