Angry talk

Fellow speaker,

Before your speech, look for people who look like they don't want to be there.  Talk to them and find out what their issues and challenges are.  During your talk, refer to them by name and bring up their points.  For example, "I was talking with Bill Stevens before the talk, and Bill had a lot of interesting ideas.  The one I want to talk about for a bit is..."

Talking it out,

Tim
