Jay Schwedelson has done over 300 keynotes and landed on a set of habits that run against almost everything you've been coached to do, from ditching the memorized script to practicing with the TV blaring. Whether the room is a packed stage or four people on a Zoom, the same small moves are what actually keep people listening.ă…¤Best Moments:(01:30) The opener that quietly loses the room before you've even started(02:00) Two little words that tell people boredom is on the way(02:18) Why a memorized speech always sounds hollow, no matter how polished(03:10) Rehearse with the TV on, because silence is nothing like the real room(03:45) Put your best material in the first 90 seconds instead of saving it for the end(06:15) The pre-talk move with one or two people that quietly kills the nerves
