my next speaker needs no introduction unless you are david letterman yes your guest needs that introduction more often than not guest speaker introductions miss the mark as they are riddled with basic bio points lack emotional intensity and sometimes people just say the speaker's name and fail to create any momentum whatsoever in this video we look at a proven four-step formula to deliver a memorable speaker introduction that will captivate your audience hey i'm Riaz Meghji founder of the every conversation counts platform this is the channel that helps you present with confidence maximize your impact and connect authentically with your audience on camera and on stage if you're new here subscribe to the channel and hit the bells you are the first to know when new content is released every week if you are the mc host or facilitator of any in-person or virtual event you have a vital role the mc's job is to keep the audience engaged intrigued and constantly connected to the speakers and the ideas coming their way yes the speaker is important but the audience is an even higher priority especially given the desire for human connection in a virtual setting they need to have a reason to listen what are they going to get out of the experience they need to understand why the next speaker is the authority and why it's important to hear this message now for years i've tested different ways to set speakers up for success as the host and mc on television shows leadership conferences and for several years as the host of tedx vancouver the next time you are asked to introduce a guest speaker consider this proven four-step formula as host you want to efficiently establish credibility this builds trust with the audience that the speaker they are about to listen to is the authority on the topic being covered here's where you can briefly infuse bio points to accomplish this while still captivating your audience with some type of story once again this was an example at a previous tedx vancouver showcase and the intro was for a popular doctor our next speaker is a neuroscientist and physical therapist that studies how human behavior has the power to change lives what makes her feel relevant it was a defining experience when she started her work as a physical therapist she worked with a young man with a severe brain injury and despite her best efforts she could not help him recover realizing she didn't know enough about the brain she then quit her job to return to school for her phd in neuroscience this led her to her current journey here to discuss how everything you do changes your brain please welcome dr lara boyd the audience applauded and now they're connected to the human moment that she experienced they still recognized she had the phd that showed the credibility and she was set up for success by the way her ted talk...
