very clear. i particular like the point of 'not to infuse the speaker ego, it's for the audience!'

Great Devon as always. I have been viewing your videos and using your techniques for sometime. They've paid off! I recently signed with a city for emcee services. I'm looking to introduce our city officials better. One question? Do you always first ask the audience a question regarding the "One Big Idea"? It may be a little difficult for a city officials audience(Example: introducing the Mayor). Any suggestion are welcome.Thank you again for the 1+3 formula.

Great question! No, I don't always ask the audience a question beforehand. Often at seminars and conferences I do - because I want to train audience engagement and I want to get them to used to answering or raising their hand - but I don't always start by asking them a question. One idea might be to take what would normally be asked as a "regular question", and state it as a "you know when" statement (which is still kind of a question, but more assues than asks)... Example: "You know when politicians do (insert thing audiences don't like)"...We'll today, mayor so and so is going to talk about (insert opposite of thing audience doesn't like). I think you get the idea. Hope that helps 🙂

these are great and really practical tips, Devon! I have been using the #1 element, but will try to start bringing the audience in with the +3 as well! How do you apply this technique with 'fly-in' speakers. In some cases I am introducing either VVIPs who will just show up five minutes before the speaking time and then do their spot, or I may be on stage as they arrive (even stalling and entertaining the audience until they arrive) and so may not get a chance to to have the pre-chat. Is this a 'non-negotiable' element of your speaking engagements, or do you have a different approach for fly-ins?

[@DevonBrownTV]

Great question. This is obviously much harder to do when you don't get to talk to the speaker beforehand. Sometimes, given the situation, you just have to give general bio info. But, one thing I like to do in instances like you're mentioning is to frame things as... "If so and so has had this much success in (insert generic bio stuff here)... then imagine how much what they have to share will shortcut your success when I bring them out on the stage". I hope that makes sense. In other words, I take their generic bio, and I say "IF they've achieved X, Y, and Z... imagine the awesomeness of the things they'll have to share with you".
