Create connection with your audience without hoping or guessing.

Imagine how you would feel when people are cheering, applauding and saying "wow" after your presentation.

What if a few secrets could help you give a speech where an audience member comes and says, "I felt you were just talking to me?"

Multiple award-winning speaker Ramakrishna Reddy presents the secrets, tools, and devices that helped him create 18 laughs and three applauses in a seven-minute persuasive speech in his fifth book Connect with Humor and Story.

  • How to synergize a story and speech structure by using SST technique
  • How to open a speech with a story in "the right" way (many get it wrong all the time)
  • A proven thesis to maximize and virtually guarantee your success to create humor
  • Seven humor devices that you must know to leverage the humor creation process
  • The best-kept secret to create the persuasive effect in the audiences mind
  • How to craft a message that does not look preachy yet persuade your audience
  • What it takes to create applause during the course (not after) of the speech
  • Eleven editing strategies that nobody teaches

Probably better as a book

I find it hard to get it and see examples in the audio version. I think it would be better as a book since I did not get much out of the audiobook
