Thank you, angel, for that introduction. I appreciate everybody being here. This is going to be a fun ride and a fun time. So buckle up. If you're going to take. I'm going to give the opportunity to take many notes, everything you want. You're going to have the opportunity to ask a whole lot of questions because I'm going to be the most un NSA speaker in a presentation workshop you ever seen into the fact of that somebody in this room is going to win up to $250 while you're in this session. And you just don't know how much you're gonna win or how little you might win.

Before I get started, I want to first thank one person in our former past president Brian Walters, for his pushing me, pushing me to actually do this presentation and to be a part of the NSA influence program. So happy to be here. So y' all ready for a good time? Okay. If you're ready for a good time, I need you to say yeah. I need you to say yeah. And I need you to say uh huh. Uh huh. That huh is ode to my man Walter Bond in here.

So I'm gonna give you a chance to take some notes. So here's what you're gonna learn today. Okay? I'm gonna go through a lot of content. Part one is understanding why you need to develop the skill of being able to collapse your keynote. It's a really important skill that only professionals know how to do. Most amateurs have no idea how to do this, but without losing their place, getting flustered, and messing up the whole program. The second thing you'll learn is how to prepare for the performance. Three is how to make sure your message is delivered with impact.

And then fourth, you're going to learn some skills that separate the pros from the amateurs. It's a real important skill. Now, I want you to see everything that you see written in green on the bottom is going to be a PDF download that I'm going to give you access to, but you will not get that until we get towards the end of the presentation. So if you leave, you won't get it. And nobody else in this room should give it to you. So I want you to know that. Okay, So I told you about the money. $250.

That's what I got, $250. So we're gonna start by giving away some money first out of the gate. So I wanna get started. So I wanna ask a question. You get one point if you got on something red. You get two points if you actually have a MacBook Pro with you. Crystal, you excluded. Okay, number three, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, you get three points and four points if you got on a pair of Air Jordan sneakers.

Okay, so now I want to do the honor system. I want you to count up and see who has the most points. Be honest. If you got the most points. So does anybody here have 10 points? Anybody got nine points? Eight points? Seven, six, five? Who's a sixer? Who's a sixer? Anybody? Six. Six. Six? Will you have five? Who's five? We got two fives. All right, this.

So both of you get $10 each of iTunes gift cards. So you take yours, and you can pass it to Will. Thank you for being there. All right, first quiz, out of the way, and, Crystal, you was out of the gate on that one. Okay, now I got two more questions for you. I need this by show of hands only. These are two important questions. I'm trying to qualify the room to see who I have in the room.

So question one is, how long have you been speaking? So I want to ask this question by years. And so by show of hands, if you have been speaking 50 years or more, hold your hand up. And I'm talking about in front of audiences, not talking about speaking to yourself, speaking in tongues, speaking on the radio. I'm talking about speaking. Nobody at 50. Anybody at 45? 40, 30. Okay, we got 1, 2, 3, 4, 35, 30. Okay, 25, 20, 15, 10.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Less than a year. Anybody less than a year? All right, so the less than a year folks. You gonna get a couple Starbucks on me? How about that? There's one for you. There you go. Hand them that Starbucks gift cards, okay? All right, now I want to ask about your NSA membership. Okay? Who has been a member of NSA for more than 25 years? Got one person who's been a member of NSA for less than a month. Oh, okay.
