NOTABLE QUOTES
"The most important part of starting a speech is being comfortable, confident, and concise in your opening." – Philip
“Start with a question that sets the tone.” – Philip
"Use a quote that will spring you into your speech." – Philip
"Using a fact or a statistic at the beginning of your speech is alarming. That gets you on point with what you're going to talk about and will capture the audience's attention." – Philip
"If your story gets to be too long and you don't get to the punchline, then people get drowned out." – Philip
“Showing visualizations as you're speaking right at the beginning is another powerful way to get that buy-in because the more people can see, they can hear, almost feel like they're touching, they're tasting, they're having memories themselves or thinking about people." – Philip
