How to introduce a speaker the right way (with examples) - full workshop

Learn how to introduce a guest speaker or keynote speaker the right way. Follow my detailed sample introduction, or use my simplified template to create a powerful speaker introduction even if you have limited information. We’ll also look at how you can recover if you’re introduced badly, or not at all, and take control of your presentation. If you run a comedy club or comedy show, you can also use these techniques to introduce a comedian on stage.
This training is part of my series Leadership Lessons from the Comedy Club, which focuses on what companies can learn from comedians.
