www.conorneill.com What are the first words of a speech? What should be the first sentence of a speech? How can you engage an audience from the first moment? There are 3 ways to start a speech.
Holly molly! I don't care about business or sales or making speeches, but the way he talks is so bloody captivating, I ended up watching more of the videos!! lol AND in addition I learn a lot from them too, which I think will be a great help to me when I go for job interviews in future. It even helps with my poetry when I make audio versions of it! Fascinating stuff!
this video has been taken over by fucking bots lmao
Might want to get out more...
The notion of speech in most people is having a big audience. Just forget it. Speech is the physical ability to just talk. Think talking to someone. Then no "rules" or "tricks" to remember (or be forgotten). "Speak about what you know/feel, and no one will ignore you"

Three ways to start a speech (summary): 3) With a question that matters to the audience. Phrase a problem that the audience faces. 2) A fact that shocks: i.e. there are more people alive today than have ever died. Every 2 minutes, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is equal to all the energy used by all its people in one year 1) The same way we start a story to a child: "Once upon a time..." Makes us lean forward, makes us ready to hear. All trained as kids to know when a story's coming. - assume self interest; tell a story from your own life about something you find meaningful - don't talk about the software; talk about the people who make the software - they need to trust you before they decide to act
..
Like picking up a girl......talk about HER......you're in like flint!
my focus was scattered while listening so thank you for the quick summurize it's so helpful :)
Now I'm just glitched because there are not more people alive than have ever died. May I suggest a subclause for point 2... be sure your fact is a fact.
@@hhiippiittyy Just found out it’s not a fact, but it actually shows the power of the speech, that he can make a fake fact to be trusted by many people.
The actual best way to start a speech: "This is going to be quick"
Funny...lol I've used these strategies and they work.
I often use those words at the end of a candle-lit dinner...

That guy is totally clueless...maybe should watch how Steve Jobs presented something to an audience
Which’s always a lie...

As a professional trainer and speaker, I can say that this is the best video on starting a speech I have ever seen. Conor Neill is dynamic in his delivery. He compels us to rethink how we begin a speech, to effectively engage an audience from the first moment.
This sounds like something chat GPT would say if you asked it to comment on the talk that was given
You know a video is old when it talks about using a Blackberry
😄😄😄
Does not c hange the truth or relevence of the message.
@@johnhammond1722 yep. The advice in the video is excellent. I wish I could speak well, as this man can
@@bunkerbuster6729 hi
@@truth.speaker Hello. 🙂
1. Start with A Question. 2. Start with a relevant story. 3. Start with curious & bizarre fact.
I think 3 was start with a problem people face. 2 was a factoid that shocks and 1 was "Once upon a time" Except say it like adult would say it. I don't think he ever got to that: "A guy walks into a bar.."?
@@helium73 You are right.
I have a dream!
@@BieluChukwu9 dr.king didnt start his speech with "i have a dream" lol Poser
@@harrymack5610 then imma use it! I have a dream that we humans are immortals beings!!!
In my high school speech class, we were told to tell the audience what we were going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them. That way it sinks in and will be memorable. I did that and won the speech competition. In sales it was called features and benefits. This is what it does and this is how you benefit from what it does. That and you have 2 ears and 1 mouth; listen twice as much as you talk. Good advice for your life.
Did you go to Catholic school as well? That sounds so bloody familiar it’s uncanny.
Repetition is important, that's why certain commercials are shown twice in a marketing TV block !
I watched this video like three (3) years ago when I started exploring how to take on my career in speaking and I'm glad to come back to it and still find it so vital. ❤
Thank you 🙏
I have taken both speech and communications classes and not once was starting a speech covered. Thank you Conor! This changes everything.

Awesome advice - telling stories takes presentations to the next level! There are some other interesting tips I have also heard of from other coaches and leaders that I would love you to comment on: 1) start with a silent pause prior to uttering your first word to build up anticipation and attention after taking a deep breath and "landing" in your starting stance first; 2) jump into your story or first idea - do not introduce yourself or display gratitude for being invited to speak; 3) end with the same energy you start with.
made sure my kid didnt know anything about giraffes to ensure my chances of a good speech
Seems simple yet we forget that presentations are stories that get your point across to a group of different personalities with varying opinions and views. I enjoy the fact that Conor Neil reaffirms this information in an engaging manner.
This is phenomenal! I feel teachers of all grade levels and subjects should study public speaking. We have about 10 seconds to engage students of any age. One swing and a miss and we can lose them . It is then extremely difficult if not impossible to get them back!
If we have 10 seconds to engage the student, we need to rethink our approach.
Three ways to start a speech (connecting with the audience), summarised: 1. "Once upon a time..." 2. *shocking factoid* 3. "We know someone in common."
Haha..epic summary :)
Actually #3 is coming up with a personal story and then making it relatable. The Knowing someone in common part was just a side anecdote when networking. Not for how to start a speech..
Or....the line I used to use to pick up girls......."I know you....we went to different schools together..."..........
@@surrealsm123 and #1 was ask a question that matters and #3 was tell stories that connect you to the people
Hi !!
Great trick, he speak about how to start a speech, but he really never started, just talked about it.
If you watch some great TED Talks, they are doing the same way.
Eugene Kalinichenko never have truer words been spoken.
It's a corporate sales talk for Tango - not meant to give a speech, just motivate its salespeople.
you're right... Try this to wow your audience before you start: kzhead.info/sun/hbySnbFljYOejIE/bejne.html
ok so it wasnt just me trying to figure out if he actually said it?
Amazing point about starting with a narrative structure. You have finally articulated to me, what made some of my presentations great, the ones I received compliments from, and the ones, I wish I never did.
A real masterpiece talk. I am an English teacher, I ve learned a lot from you sir, I ve grown with many of your lectures. Fantastic
Phenomenal speaker -- I hope people pay attention to how he uses pauses and how he builds anticipation. Very well crafted speech.
As a prof who taught public speaking for a few years, this is one presentation I'd have students view! Salient 3 points as I continue to be a speaker. Thank you Conor
Being a confident speaker begins with having a great topic! Need an informative speech topic? Just ask me. Need a persuasive speech topic? Just ask me. Topic Genie is Fast, Fun, and Easy!
To choose a great topic, you need to know what your audience needs
I think that the topic is not important. Knowing the topic subject matter inside out, and being able to deliver the subject matter in a manner which pulls the crowd in is what its about.
But one of his "facts" isn't true. There have been roughly 107 billion people that have died and we have roughly 7.5 billion people alive currently.
Topic Genie give a winning g seach ?
In short: 1. Begin by engaging the audience with a relevant question, framing a problem they face. 2. Alternatively, startle them with a surprising factoid. 3. Finally, captivate them with a compelling story that connects to the topic and its significance.
It was a privilege to have Conor as a Corporate Communications professor at IESE, so much value added advice in every lecture!
Normally when I start a speech at a gathering I start by recognizing the previous speaker and then make him feel great by saying, " I'd like to start by saying a big thank you to Nelson for that brilliant presentation, my colleague Nelson, has mentioned so many vital points and I'm going to add to what he's already said..."
My Daddy This helps the gradual shift of the audience to get engaged with your next presentation. 💯 ✅👌
First off, the point Abb AB made is extremely poignant and demonstrates both courtesy to the previous speaker as well as an acknowledgment of the purpose of the entire event as a cohesive whole. I’d like to add to that by saying, it might be a similarly good idea to mention the upcoming speaker after you, or perhaps reference the upcoming presentations somehow in your speech. Something like, “I’m excited to hear about what the upcoming speakers will discuss on this aspect of the topic at hand.” After all, this particular video asked the question of both how do you start a speech and how do you end one. Looking forward to what others might say in this comment thread as well. Peace ✌️
Who else came here to see how *HE* would start *HIS* speech?
That's what I do to see how people are confident when they talk, etc.
2:37 wasted time
Me here. I lack confidence to speak to an audience. I can't even confidently speak on mic for my own videos. 🙁
mike smith, likewise here.
This guy had good content that he read and put together, however, his physical characteristics of a speaker are terrible. He picks at his nose several times as if there was a pimple inside, and scratches at his face a lot. His suit looks like he picked it up at Goodwill used clothing, and two sizes too big. Other than that, the other half of a good presentation is your appearance and of course body language.
Thanks for your insight... So simple and true but fear gets in the way. Story telling is key.
Watched this video long time ago which changed my way of connecting with people. And now when I watch this video again, iam sure and certain that will improve my ways of communication. Still learning from this even watching repeatedly.
Very interesting to see agent coulson giving out suggestions on how to give out a speech.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I watched this years before when I couldn't understand English it made me smile , and now when I understand words by words , it makes me more smile than before . Thank you
Wow that is cool 😎
Great topics on how to start and engage your audience. I also, as a teacher/coach for 13 years, now in sales for 15 plus years, like to throw in a little humor during my talk time. It helps to keep whoever you are talking to engaged. It’s real easy to see cues that you are losing them. Especially in a sales pitch. At that point, you’ve lost them and maybe the sale. Be quick, concise with points, get them engaged and asking questions.
Conor I tried your method in my presentation for a grant recently. And it worked! Thank you very much for helping me! I was really grateful to you and your talk !
what method? the never get to the point method?
I just wrote my 1 minute speech to a county commission...they usually dont hear a word. I think I will have their attention...I like the "real important guy told me this..." approach...will try and write in result. Thanks in advance

I stumbled on Connor's videos by accident and really love them - i have been hooked ever since. Great advice that can be put into practice.
I really think this man has a lot to offer. I liked how he paced his words, engaged his audience & kept everyone interested. So well done there. Not too keen on his nose picking though, as it has me wondering if I will or won't shake his hand.

Connor, I have seen many speeches and completed many training programs, your tips here are amongst the best I have heard. Simple, concise and reasoned! Thank you..
I enjoyed both the ideas he presented and how he presented them. Since he's talking about how to be more engaging, just watching how he does it is itself great.
Dojng great. He is catching our attention He didn’t tell those three things quickly but he made the speech long and explained to us In one way it was great in another way he took our time so much.
Hello and greetings from Paris ! I saw this 7 years ago and it is still so great ! Happy speech to all !
Thank you for posting your interesting approach to public speaking. As a military instructor charged with making astronautics interesting and relevant to non-technical people, I found a good opening for each new class was: "How many of you have been in space or want to go?" After a pause of several seconds, suggest "Every one of us has, and is, at this moment, in space, aboard Spaceship Earth. We are space travelers riding this large rock and going about a billion kilometers around our star, the Sun, every year. If you do the math, that means our huge planet is traveling a little over 100,000 kilometers per hour in our orbit." pause for effect. "As a child I was fascinated by those people who left the atmosphere of our Spaceship's surface and went into freefall around our planet orbiting every 90 minutes or so at more than 28,000 kilometers per hour. I learned years later that someday, humans will need to venture out to find a new spaceship when in a billion years or so, our sun begins to expand to once day incinerate our planet and moon and everything between our star and us. How will we decide where to go, who to send, and what they will take with them? How will we communicate with them over vast distances where radio transmissions take months and years instead of seconds? We need to learn how to leave while keeping our ship alive long enough to provide the things we will need to go out to other stars, and galaxies; to ensure our species survives, and thrives." another pause. "We are all space farers, like it or not. Who is ready to learn about this fascinating subject?"

Thanks Connor, I follow you from Syria. I love watching all your posts to learn from them. Thank you for what you provide for us.
I love this! This was a great tip and topic in my opinion and I believe I have learned a lot! Thank you Mr. Neil!!
The same story telling technique can be used in writing and online videos as well, thanks for sharing. I'll ponder on what you said and use it in my work onwards.
Thank you this helped a lot. We prepped our speech using this and it worked out great.
These lines touched my heart
When shooting a tiger walking speaker, it is smoother and easier on the viewer to have a slightly wider shot, i.e., medium. That way, the camera can keep up with the speaker with less jumps or quick pans.
Some one needs to tell him that stat about more people being alive today than all the combined death is totally false.
Steve Cook Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts.
Update it for this year lol
Exactly. Total nonsense.
It was a tutorial not necessarily a fact
A factoid is a lie masquerading as the truth...it only sounds true but isn't...which is why he called it a startling factoid.
Wow! This was very intersting and well said! Thank you so much, I needed this information for an English speech in school.
Glad it was helpful!
The video beautifully emphasizes the power of storytelling in public speaking. The speaker's approach to capturing audience attention through relatable anecdotes is both insightful and engaging. It highlights the importance of connecting on a personal level to build trust and interest. Overall, a valuable lesson in effective communication!
Start a speech on something you believe in. Don’t let the audience to feel that your present is because you want to sell something. If you really believe in something, let others to feel the same way. ( emotion) is reachable. Thanks from Saudi Arabia.
"Dont let the audience TO FEEL THAT YOUR PRESENT is because" ...huh try again

@@harrymack5610 I would like to hear you say that in a language that wasn't your native tongue.
First two sentences in Arthur C. Clark's 2001: A Space Oddyssey: "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth." There you have it, you can actually do an introduction with an interesting fact without lying (at that time in 1968, the ratio is probably lower now).
2024 and this is still helpful! Thank you
Thanks for the tips! I've been using the opener "there are more people alive today than have ever died" to start off my Engineering lectures. It was interesting the first time, but the students were tired of it after the 2nd and 3rd time.
I wouldn't bother as it's not true - not even close...
@@ExpatFinancialPlanner yup, came here to say that.
Not beats a fact better than a completely false one
Thank you for sharing this!
everyone likes to vomit his biggest toxic waste on other people (so he also likes when they throw it back to him? which is called responsibility ...), maliciousness is the only joy in life, isnt it? or the reason why i always thought that emotions are rather toxic and hostile, because they are? or do you find attacks and aggression (from other people) good and you like them? so there is no reason to return them to people?
Don't give out incorrect "facts," that's also a good place to start.

you just saved 8 minutes and 46 seconds of my life thank you
the very fact that you found the need to do this (I was just about to, and found yours) negates this guys presentation value significantly.
A few points to avoid when giving a speech or talk: Avoid starting sentences with the word "so" and ending them with the word "right?" That implies that the audience agrees with you when it may not. Avoid using the "pthe" sound. Avoid saying "uh." Avoid using cliches such as "at the end of the day" and "best version of yourself."
pthe?
Yes, it's the sound people make when they pause for a second in speaking. Sort of sounds like a kiss. It's made by putting your tongue to the back of your top teeth and/or while your lips are closed then opening them to make the sound. It's hard to describe in writing.

One point missed here - and I'm afraid sadly demonstrated - is not to fall so in love with the sound of your own voice that a speech takes three times as long as necessary.

1st time listening these kind of audio and i am already in love
I worked with a man close to 20 years. He is a special man. An Irishman. A kind, sincere and ethical man. He took a 20 million dollar annual business to 1.5 billion dollars annually, within 30 years of its operation. He has the knack of making people listen and for telling true stories in an utterly captivating and convincing manner that his 6,000 strong employees rally behind him and the company's every objective. How did he achieve all that? Together with many other disciplines and actions, he also utilizes the 3 possible ways in making a speech that Conor Neil mentions in this talk. Of-course this man was way ahead of Conor and possessed this skill inherently. Yet the fact is - Niel's theories are absolutely spot-on and have produced phenomenal results when followed. Well done Neil.
Cool story, bro
Many years ago I started a new teaching job. At the end of the very first lesson a girl came up to me and said, 'Sir, you should leave.... and tell stories.' What great advice and encouragement from a teenage girl in a physics class. I have been doing it ever since even when adult leaders told me to keep it straight and stick to the content only. 'Once upon a time'...

Happy to hear that!
you bring such joy and knowledge to your viewers, it's amazing!
I'm 15 yrs old and I've been searching and watching tips about speeches and anything related about it. I'm gonna be speaking to the whole junior high department..a candidacy speech...I really want to win..This vid helped me a lot.. but a bit nervous because days are dropping, it will be next week, God bless to me 🙏🙏🙏
Put it exactly how Conor tells us; Start the speech not with "My name is...and I want to....," but rather, with some anecdote that may reach the department on a different level. Everyone loves a story that relates why exactly you want to do something. For example, in your case, you want to hold a certain position. Was there ever a moment in your life where you realized that you wanted to demonstrate the qualities this position requires? If there was (and if you really want to win, I'm sure there was), illustrate that moment to the department in such a way that it becomes a story. You will have the position undoubtedly. I recommend watching Conor's speeches, TED talks, and Charisma on Command as these are channels I still refer to today. Remember, you can always learn more on public speaking.
How did it go?
Kid, your speech went off a year ago. Hope you didn't listen to this guy and that it went well.
Maybe it went horribly wrong and he doesn't want to talk about it 😕
It went so badly, he gave up youtube...
This is a very good speech, especially about how to engage people with stories. His voice then takes a whole new depth. This is a neat way to bring pathos to a speech.
Conor - you add so much value! Thank you for sharing these gems :-)
I've learnt alot today, i can feel it in my nerves 🙏🏽 I promise i would use what I've learnt today henceforth 🖐🏽

Thanks alot, speaking infront of people is such a challenge,.you are helping and did a young man get some tips on the idea of getting to atleast mumble something in stage situations. Thanks so much.🙏
I like the two start-a-speech tips: (1) ask a relevant question or (2) state an interesting fact. Makes me think how _true_ the interesting fact has to be...

Thank you 🙏
Beautiful, thank you for this.
0:25 Introducing yourself is a proper opening. People in the crowd might not have a schedule for the day with your name and talk title. And even if they do, they need to know they are in the right place and confirm which speaker is on stage at the moment. Clarification is worth something.
Agreed. And when done correctly it takes less than 10 secs. Less then the amount of time for someone to find their program, schedule, or agenda (if they have one).
Great Point - although if (big if) there's a professional MC they'll intro you, your why, etc (at least i do that)
First thing is to get full attention. And with introducing yourself that doesn't work. Introduce yourself after a great opening. In terms of time maybe after 2 or 3 minutes.
This man is a genius. I thank you for your meaningful instruction and avoiding common sense issues. I learned something every statment
really genius
This guy speaks in an engaging manner. :-)
Father speech to debutant
Andrew McClain ok
yeah, avoid common sense. because common sense tells you if a guy is lying to you, walk away.
Anecdotes with a purpose for sharing can be good tools. I am a visual & descriptive person. I enjoy stories.
Excellent points! As a former (now retired) Dale Carnegie trainer, and public speaker, I would just add one more point---Eliminate Distractions. Like frequently scratching your nose and head.

@@williamzame3708 Are you talking about the "shocking factoids" or his actual tips?
@@Meldreth56 For example the "More people live today than have ever died" is completely untrue. There is science dedicated to this question and a lot of sources state that over 100 billion people have lived (and died) in the past 50.000 years. He makes it even worse by saying "Look it up, google it." despite it being fake news.
@@Meldreth56 I guess he's talking about the "shocking factoids" and I completely agree with him. Beginning a talk with a hoax imho is quite embarrassing...
Utterly uninsightful response, a question that appears to use indignation and ignorance as an effort to drive home a point. Rambling on for over eight minutes to try to say something that could have been succinctly expressed in under two is a good reason for voting down. There are myriad others.
A good speech needs a good start, a good ending and the two as close together as possible.
