Chris lays out a proven strategy that will help any presenter to connect early and effectively…especially when speaking to high-stakes audiences. &amp;nbsp; SNIPPETS: • You must connect early • Audiences immediately want to know what’s in it for them &amp;nbsp; • Become a pain point detective &amp;nbsp; • Show that you see them and you get them &amp;nbsp; • Use the language of the room &amp;nbsp; • Open a case file &amp;nbsp; • Verify you research &amp;nbsp; • Use ‘bits’ and ‘run a comedic play’ to do the heavy lifting &amp;nbsp; • Use location humor &amp;nbsp; • Use custom humor &amp;nbsp; • Without connection, content is irrelevant Unforgettable Presentations http://unforgettablepresentations.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42156730/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/204308715
