6 years later, and this video is the gift that keeps on giving. Exceptional content - thanks SO much.

Anyone notice she never said “uh” once?

Everytime I start my presentation I start laughing

The way you broke down own video to help explain the idea really settled it in for me! good stuff :)

OHHH MY GOD!! YOU ARE A SAVIOR, I HAVE A MEETING IN THREE DAYS AND ITS THE BIGGEST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IVE HAD IN YEARS, THIS IS AMAZING

Wow!!! Awesome!!! I'm a retired professor on astronomy but I do about 12 lectures a year for pleasure, in Brazil and other Latin American countries. Although quite experienced, I realize the amazing improvement I can get with your killer intro method and I just set up one for my next talk on Black Holes. Thanks for you kind generosity to share it with us.

I love how you not only taught us, but also showed us! thanks a lot!!

So useful! I wish I'd found this video months ago. I'm doing this huge project(for me) which involves a lot of chapters. With everything filmed but the intro at the beginning , and for each chapter I've been procrastinating on it for ages..... As you said in the video , bursting straight in about yourself, who you are your name ..... i'm already bored just listening to it coming out of my own month! The trick is balancing a calming topic(my theme) without putting your audience asleep after 20 seconds... You are so good that you smile without it seeming a smile! it just flows.

i'm going to do a public speaking 101 seminar tomorrow. and i still learned a great thing from you that improved my introduction. well done, respect and thanks a lot :)

I used a killer introduction at a Seminar, sharing my testimonial, it got a very positive from the highest qualified Entrepreneur in the room. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Thank you so much! I literally used your practical method “The hook, transition, self intro, and audience benefit” and you know what? I killed my audience 😂😂😂 I meant they loved it. Thank you again for your help. Highly recommend to everyone.

I've spent the weekend reviewing videos like this for an my upcoming presentation. I've now watched this one several times. It is the best one I've seen! Great content, easy to understand and implement. Thank you!!

Thank you for this fantastic video. After watching it 4 times, I re-wrote my introduction and added a slide of what were the three main topics of my presentation. I feel The audience paid a lot more attention because your video helped me develop and hold the audience’s interest to the very end.

Almost 4 years later and this is still helpful and helping! Thank you!

Thank you this will defenity help me and with my speech I am a year seven and have no clue about writing great speechs and this will be amazingly affective for my work again thank you!!!

I used your techniques and it got me a second position in a debate. I never thought i would make it to top 3. I am really grateful. Thank you soooo much.

OMG....This is a killer advice.......I just loved it! Thanks for educating us.

You can this techniques to writing!! Great way in getting a “A” for a written assignment.

4 minutes of pure effectiveness, i don't know why youtube suggested this video to me, but this is pure gold. Thank you

Simple and easy to understand ......I loved the flow

Awesome one! You didn't only say what should be done, you've shown them through practical examples! That's gonna help a lot! Thanks a lot for being so informative and precise, you're awesome!

Short, snappy, clear, no waffle. Love it!

I like it. I usually ask a thought provoking question related to the topic. An ice breaker if you will.

Thank you! This is so simple to do and I can already see what a big difference it will make to my presentation! Well explained and well presented!

Hey Anne! Your tips helped me to plan my presentation for a job interview and I got the job! I'm now planning a presentation about my career - in particular Storytelling to 13 - 14 year olds - some with special needs and I'm back watching you AGAIN for tips! Thank you for sharing your brilliance! Julia :)

By far the best step-by-step guide for starting a presentation we've come across. Thank you.

Great Take away. Easy to implement. Awesome!

Thank you for this! I'm really bad at intros and hooks, and I had a school speech due, and this helped a lot!

Thanks for sharing in such a clear and concise way 🌟Love your energy Anne.

Iam literally Seeing This Video After 7years (2024)...😮 But still HelpFul...❤ Thank You...😊

I really like the way you explain, short and simple. I'm going to use this method. Thanks a bunch.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. :)

I have a lot of experience speaking to "live" audiences but have never done it online. And there is definitely a difference. I have viewed [literally] hundreds of videos on this topic. They were all pretty much made up of the same stuff. HO HUM. Somehow this video landed in front of me at just the right time. PERFECTION! My opening has gone from "blah, blah, blah" to a blockbuster passageway to my actual presentation! Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!

Short and on the point, LOVE IT!

Killer formula ! It's so easy to default to the traditional, predictable, boring intro that 99% of speakers use. Thanks for breaking down a more effective method for introductions. I am going to challenge myself to improve my intros by utilizing your framework.

I can't wait now. It's just amazing and felt super natural. Great job .

This is the most legit and perfect video with a perfect real-life example (the video intro itself!) I've ever seen

You are simply awesome !! I'm minutes away from one of the largest 200+ people presentation i have to make, and this 4 min magic just made my day.

Great stuff! Excellent advice. Cool editing, too. Nice way to bring it back around. :-)

Thanks you for this! I got so many ideas at once, and now I have great ways not only to redo some videos, but for my FB events, such as the description, picture/video theme, posts in the events, and for my FB lives. Ann(e), you're great, thanks!

This is amazing and it really helped me deliver my last value proposition. it does take some time to build a personal hook out of your own story and i loved to watch this video several times until i was able to write one for myself. I did great at the last presentation. While I am still trying to refine my story for a different meeting, I always come back and watch this video again and again ... and each time it gives me a great idea again. Thanks so much. really helpful and amazing...
