How to start a speech - Conor Neill

Some simple but very good advice on starting a speech. This is obviously a most important part of your presentation as, getting this wrong, can lose you your audience before you ever really get started. You want them to pay attention to all you planned to deliver, not just the first few minutes, then grab their mobile phones or read over the program while you are doing your best. There is more advice available but this will already add value to many people and I just like the simplicity of this 10 minute educational.

A Conversation With Les Brown and Jan Robberts

Some years ago I had the distinct pleasure of getting interviewed by my friend and mentor, Les Brown. To be learning from him and become a Les Brown Platinum Speaker was a dream come true for me as I had told myself nearly 30 years ago that this man would become my mentor....be careful what you wish for! :-) In my opinion, Les is THE best motivational speaker in the world today....and his children are also amazing speakers in their own right. I will post frequently about this giant in the speaking industry as he is, and has been, and will be a tremendous influence and inspiration in my life for many years already.....and he 'ain't done yet'!
