May I teach you the secrets to successfully starting your speech?

How to Successfully Start Your Speech

Don't you just feel like screaming or pulling your hair out when you can't figure out how to start a speech? If you do, you're not alone.

After all, the opening of your speech is often the most difficult to develop and deliver.

It's the most difficult to develop, because there are a number of objectives the opening has to achieve.

It's the most difficult to deliver, because the opening of your speech is when you are most nervous.

Not only is your opening the most difficult to develop and deliver ... it's arguably the most important part of your speech.

You see ... if you don't have the undivided attention of the audience when you start your speech, you won't have it all.

In this recorded teleclass, I teach you how to:

• Avoid making the common mistakes that alienate your audience and sabotage your speech
• Overcome initial resistance and objections when your topic is unpopular or controversial
• Establish your credibility and earn the respect of your audience within the crucial first moments of your speech

A Little About Me

I'm John Watkis, a freelance speechwriter, presentation skills coach and keynote speaker. For nearly two decades, I've been teaching audiences all over the world how to inspire, influence and persuade others by speaking with confidence, clarity and conviction.

But don't take my word for it ... listen to what others have to say about the value of my presentations.

"John provided a unique perspective on how to develop and deliver meaningful content that would be remembered, repeated and responded to by audiences. His presentation was practical, interactive, entertaining - and very fresh ... I could see even the veterans in our chapter were furiously taking notes. That's the highest endorsement any presenter could ask for."

Michel Neray,
President, Toronto Chapter
Canadian Association of Professional Speakers

“John Watkis is a fabulous speaker and he shared some valuable lessons that evening ... I do an orientation presentation each month to the "new hires" and I'm certainly going to use some of the tips John passed on”
