6 years later, and this video is the gift that keeps on giving. Exceptional content - thanks SO much.

Everytime I start my presentation I start laughing

Anyone notice she never said “uh” once?

The way you broke down own video to help explain the idea really settled it in for me! good stuff :)

Wow!!! Awesome!!! I'm a retired professor on astronomy but I do about 12 lectures a year for pleasure, in Brazil and other Latin American countries. Although quite experienced, I realize the amazing improvement I can get with your killer intro method and I just set up one for my next talk on Black Holes. Thanks for you kind generosity to share it with us.

OHHH MY GOD!! YOU ARE A SAVIOR, I HAVE A MEETING IN THREE DAYS AND ITS THE BIGGEST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IVE HAD IN YEARS, THIS IS AMAZING

So useful! I wish I'd found this video months ago. I'm doing this huge project(for me) which involves a lot of chapters. With everything filmed but the intro at the beginning , and for each chapter I've been procrastinating on it for ages..... As you said in the video , bursting straight in about yourself, who you are your name ..... i'm already bored just listening to it coming out of my own month! The trick is balancing a calming topic(my theme) without putting your audience asleep after 20 seconds... You are so good that you smile without it seeming a smile! it just flows.

I love how you not only taught us, but also showed us! thanks a lot!!

I've spent the weekend reviewing videos like this for an my upcoming presentation. I've now watched this one several times. It is the best one I've seen! Great content, easy to understand and implement. Thank you!!

Thank you for this fantastic video. After watching it 4 times, I re-wrote my introduction and added a slide of what were the three main topics of my presentation. I feel The audience paid a lot more attention because your video helped me develop and hold the audience’s interest to the very end.

i'm going to do a public speaking 101 seminar tomorrow. and i still learned a great thing from you that improved my introduction. well done, respect and thanks a lot :)
