The How of Wow
Observations from The How of Wow by Tony Carlson:
* According to Carlson only 1 in 500 speeches is good enough to be remembered. To be among those remembered, Carlson says you need to give audiences insight, enlightenment, meaning, stimulation, wit, and entertainment.
* Few speakers ever rehearse enough. Every extra moment you have ought to go into rehearsing.
* Your opening line can be a shocker that lets the audience know you mean business. Don't be afraid to say something that people already suspect, but noone will say except for you.
* Show your vulnerability early in the speech.
