Feedback on my speech from two months ago

Email from the Real Estate Company President…yesterday…

On another note, I wanted you to know that we did an anonymous survey of all of our attendees to our Leadership Conference in Orlando. Consistently, your session was ranked highest among the feedback we rec’d. Additionally, you were ranked as the favorite speaker (I was a close 6th…haha). I share this with you to know you are doing something right. Your approach to your audiences and their need for takeaways is working. Keep up the good work my friend.

From a used tissue box about to be recycled to a random glance at a social media image – these feed the vision for the logo and brand icons for a:

The biggest subconscious let downs with keynote speeches

Two things that a keynote speaker should consider avoiding:

  1. Not gonna tell you what you already know. What’s the point?
  2. Not gonna tell you the amazing thing somebody else did. What’s the point?

No one does anything with this information.

All it does is excite us for an hour or two.

A bit like a one-night stand, to be honest.

What you’ll get from my keynotes is this:

Remarkably deeper, different, and simpler insights than you’ve ever been exposed to before.

Tell us what you do differently. Tell us how it’s changed you. Speak from nothing but experience. Keep your theories and rhetoric to yourself.

This is the long awaited antidote to the two biggest subconscious let downs with keynote speeches.

A bit like deep, long-lasting love, to be honest.
