Have you ever walked on stage and the audience has that look of “Who the heck is this?” The host may have gone off script, ignored your introduction or maybe your introduction is better used as your LinkedIn page?

Wouldn’t it be better if you stepped onto the stage, the energy in the room is electric and every pair of eyes is fixed on you, eager to soak in your message. Your introduction has warmed everyone to the point of boiling, it's time to shine!

This is the power of an introduction that actually works!

Join us for an exclusive session with one of Australia’s top event hosts, the dynamic Warwick Merry CSP, who will share insider tips on crafting engaging intros that make a lasting first impression and get your audience all good to go. By the end of this session, you'll know how to win over your audience from the get-go and handle any curve balls that come your way.

Warwick will be joining us virtually from Melbourne to provide a unique perspective from his 25+ years of experience as an Event Host/MC. He knows what it takes to energise and engage an audience, whether it's in-person, online, or hybrid.

In this session, you'll discover:

  • Warwick's proven Five Step formula for crafting a captivating introduction that positions you as a must-listen speaker.
  • Strategies for ensuring the host gives you a stellar intro every time, and how to navigate less-than-ideal intros.
  • Techniques for energising a flat audience and recovering from lacklustre MC intros or unresponsive crowds.

This session will be highly interactive, giving you the opportunity to craft your own attention-grabbing intro. Come prepared with laptops or notebooks to make the most of this engaging session.

Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the best in the business and take your speaking skills to the next level!
