Great presentations don't begin with what you want to say. They begin with what your audience needs to hear. Yet even experienced presenters often overlook the one question every audience is silently asking: "Why should I care?" Author and international speaker Steve Judge sits down with Rob to explore the power of WIFM; What's In It For Me, and why it should shape every presentation from the very beginning. Drawing from his remarkable journey from a near-fatal car accident to becoming a two-time world champion para-triathlete and award-winning motivational speaker, Steve shares how presenters can connect more deeply, make their stories matter, and keep audiences engaged from start to finish.
