Short presentations are IN! You may be introducing yourself to a new group, preparing a lightning talk, doing a show-and-tell, or sharing at a networking event.
You have 5 minutes to make a lasting impression and maybe change a few minds.
And frankly, most people blow it. Maybe you had to make a speech for a class – a captive audience. Maybe you need a speech coach for a big keynote address – overkill for 5 minutes.
Short speeches leave a big impact but they’re really tough to pull off. There are half a dozen ways you can lose your audience (and maybe your credibility).
But if you do pull it off, people remember you for a long, long time. I’ve had people come up to me weeks, months and occasionally even years after a talk. They never forget.
I’m a former college professor, professional speaker, and amateur standup comedian. I’ve had to work for the attention of bored college first-years at 8 AM, tired executives from the 4 PM conference slot, and skeptical audiences in unmentionable comedy clubs. I’ve got you covered! If you follow all the videos, you’ll be eager to grab the microphone next time you’re offered a shot.
Who this course is for:
- Business owners, corporate executives and anyone who need to make speeches to an audience. Some presentations are explicitly labeled “5 minute talks.” With others, it’s understood that you won’t take more than 5 minutes. What you learn here may help you with talks of any length, but we’re emphasizing the special requirements of five-minute talks.
