787 - Keep your audience focused: Tom talks Attention Gaining Devices

Today, we're going to talk about attention gaining devices. What the heck does that mean, Tom?

I said, okay, well, maybe I'll do this week on presentation skills and and things. I'm not trying to make you professional speakers unless you want to be, but any time you have to do this or you need to do this, you want to make the best of it as you possibly can. So today we're going to talk about attention gaining devices. This is the whole basis of my Wake 'em Up speaking system.
