    1. Have good content.
    2. Connect with your audience.

    The end.

    Never thought of opening remarks as a "verbal headline." Makes a lot of sense. I'm going to implement this formula in my next speech. Thanks for sharing.

    Good stuff. Here's one I learned on the pro circuit:

    Who Cares?

    Keep that in mind and you will have a great speech cuz it forces you to do what?

    If you don't know, you won't have a great speech.

    Nice article, thanks for the share. I admit I am not that really good when it comes to speech specially in public, hope this thing helps and next time i speak i hope i have my first standing ovation.

      I pretty much swiped the headline from Ted Nicholas
      who wrote a book on the subject of public speaking.

      He said the real benefit for public speakers was a standing ovation.
      That's what they wanted most.

      The story behind the story of this post.

      Best,
