The Secret Formula for an Unforgettable Talk Opening

Send me a text!

Most speakers lose their audience in the first 30 seconds… and then spend the rest of their talk playing desperate catch-up.
Let’s not do that.

In this episode of Speak Like It Matters, I’m spilling the tea on why most talk openings fall flat — and exactly how to craft one that makes people sit up, lean in, and think, “Okay… I’m listening.” Spoiler: it’s not by thanking the organizer, reading your résumé, or starting with a bad joke you found on Pinterest.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to ditch the “polite but boring” openers that drain the energy out of the room before you’ve even started.
• Why giving away the whole roadmap up front kills curiosity and what to do instead.
• The quickest way to make your audience care about what you’re saying before they even know your name.

The truth? Your opening is prime real estate in your audience’s brain.

Use it wisely and you’ll be unforgettable.

Waste it… and you’ll be fighting to get their attention back the whole time.

Ready to upgrade your openings (and the rest of your talk) so they actually stick?
