Even in technical or compliance-heavy talks, emotion is what makes ideas stick. That’s why I spend a lot of time helping people nail their introductions. When you hook your audience from the start and set the rules of engagement, everything that follows flows easier.
If you’re the confident speaker, the one who’s delivered this talk a hundred times, take a step back. Ask yourself where you can grow, where you can refresh and reconnect. Don’t let confidence turn into autopilot. Stay human. Stay curious.
