It's time to get your memory hacked. Let's elevate your speech content to be massively memorable. Our next presenter has once appeared on stage with Dwight Schrute from The Office. He met his wife in the Reagan administration. Yes. And most of all, he's the most dangerous man in NSA. Welcome to the stage, Mr. Brian Walter.

Yes. And to be clear, and to be clear, by stage we mean the carpet. Okay, there. Welcome to the carpet. And for those. This is being recorded. I'll just let you know, there's actually 416 people in the room. Yes, 416 people in the room.

00:00:48 - 00:01:13
And those who are just listening to the recording will believe that. Here we go. So I want you to imagine something. You have just finished your favorite keynote and you were in the zone. You crushed it. You were getting a standing ovation. An ovation almost as big as what Christine got yesterday. That's how big it was.
Brian Walter, CSP, CPAE
00:01:13 - 00:01:36
That big. In fact, Christine is jealous of you. And then you go off the stage and the people mob you and they're saying, oh, that was amazing. We loved you. You changed my life. Business relationships. And you say, thank you, that's very kind. But you've been at NSA a long time, so you know not to leave it there, don't you? You ask that important follow up question.

So what was your biggest takeaway? What struck you the most? And then you cock your head and smile and look at them expectantly because what's about to come out of their mouth is the memorability moment. What they say is what's actually sticky. This is unaided recall. Now we know that there is another response that they could give you to that question and that's takeaways. Well, everything really. I mean, I don't even know what to say. I mean, because you were amazing. And when you hear that response, and we all have a little piece of our speaker's soul dies.

00:02:36 - 00:03:15
Because we know that our delivery was amazing, but our content was forgettable or worse, it was never remembered in the first place. That's what we are going to cover. That's why you're here. Or you knew there were free bananas, one of the two things here. So here's the hard truth. We are professionals and we are not just paid to speak. We are paid to be remembered. So let's get our sticky on.
Brian Walter, CSP, CPAE
00:03:15 - 00:03:38
And we will do that with the Spice Girls. Feel free to sing along. Oh, sorry. Now get your sticky on. Tell me what you really, really want. I'll tell you what you want what you really, really want I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna stick a sink. Ah, yes. Many of you did not see that coming.
Brian Walter, CSP, CPAE
00:03:38 - 00:04:01
You did not see that coming. Yes. You thought maybe. Why did we do that? Well, because we have a lesson to learn. Because Mel B. Scary Spice, the one on the right, she knew exactly what she really, really wanted and it was what? Zig, Zig. Ah. I have no idea what that means, but I bet she got it.
Brian Walter, CSP, CPAE
00:04:01 - 00:04:30
I bet she got. To make your speech content massively memorable, you have to know what you really, really want. And so that's exactly what we're going to do. Because everything can't be sticky. You need to pick your sticks. Pick your sticks. Here we go. Because memorability starts with which, not how.
