How to get people to NEVER forget your speech

Read time: 2 minutes

Imagine you had a secret ingredient …

… that whenever you used it in your speech,

The moment you finish and step off stage …

You get swarmed by people who say things like:

Get people to talk about your speech and share it with others

“Your keynote was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before!”

“It was so refreshing, and completely had my attention!”

“I’ve heard others speak on the subject before but this was really something special!”

This puts you in a completely different category than other ‘experts’ in your field.

You get more speaking requests, and you get PAID more.

I’m going to share that 'secret’ ingredient with you today.

Here’s the secret: I call it the ‘Laser Moment.’

I want you to think about a cat. When you take a laser pointer and shine it around, the cat immediately starts chasing it and cannot look away.

Its complete focus is on the laser, ignoring everything else. You want to create a moment like that in your speech where the audience can't look away. If you have slide after slide of information, the audience can easily tune out.

So how can you create these moments? I like to do a demonstration, exercise, or activity where the audience is invested and curious. They want to figure out what's going on and understand the point.

One example I use is vocal variation. I ask the audience for a boring topic, then I give an impromptu motivational speech on it. The audience gets involved, shouting suggestions like "toilet paper" or "light bulb," and it becomes a game.

Once I select a topic, like "whiteboard," I start speaking and the audience is hooked, waiting to see how I handle it. Their attention stays on me because they want to see how I'll land on that topic. Others might use props or tricks, like a magician with a deck of cards.

How can you create moments like this in your speech where people can't look away? The key is to keep them curious. Don't explain everything right away. If people know exactly what's coming, they might tune out.

Instead of saying, "I'll give you three tips for vocal variation," I do an exercise without explaining why at first.

This builds anticipation, and people are eager to see how it unfolds.

You can do this with stories, but I find demonstrations more effective. For instance, I sometimes bring a tennis racket on stage to make a point, and people wonder, "What are they doing with that racket?"

Create those laser moments in your presentation, and people will remember you.

They'll come up afterward saying, "I loved the racket thing!" or "That prop moment was amazing."

These moments make your presentation stand out and give you an edge over the competition.

You’ll get people sharing your speech and saying things like:

That's how you become memorable and deliver a world-class speech.

If you’re interested in being a keynote speaker,

I’m creating creating a full-fledged course on:

How to develop a world-class keynote speech,
How to deliver it in a way that is memorable,
What I do on the day of the speech,

I’ll share my full keynote with you, and do a play-by-play breakdown on precisely what I did at each point of the speech.

Keep a look for it in the next few weeks.
