At the tender age of 26, Scott was pulled aside and taught the finer points of how to give presentations, "as a mercy to his audiences". Since then, he's made a fool of himself on stages in more than thirteen cities on two continents, spanning eight timezones and more third-rate pizza slices than any human should have to endure.

What can you learn from a person like that? Funny you should ask...

- The four main classes of talks.
- Death by over-preparation.
- Event speakers work the whole event, not just 40 minutes of it.
- Handling stage fright.
- Grabbing their attention from the word go.
- Being entertaining enough, but not too much.
- How to spot when you're losing them.
- Shaking an audience up.
- Mistake recovery and handling massive SNAFUs.
- When to script it and when & how to wing-it.
- How to impress event promoters so you get invited back.

So are you in your seat yet, or should I tell you more?
