Show Notes
The opening portion (commonly known as "the opener") of a talk can be daunting. In this episode, Michelle Cushatt and Kathi Lipp employ the use of experience, wisdom, and past mistakes to provide the components of a great opener for every speaker. They communicate in their usual delightful way the four characteristics: prepared, clear, objective-driven, and audience centered. This is a great tool for the novice or experience speaker.
