In May 2011 we had the pleasure to host Conor Neil at our Tango/04 Monitoring Symposium in Barcelona.

Conor, as you may recall, is a brilliant mind, an expert in human communication, a serial entrepreneur, a professor at one of the top business schools in Europe and a guru for thousands of people (including me). He spoke about speaking, which is, I suspect, his favorite subject.

If you weren’t there, I have good news.

Conor uploaded the initial part of the speech to his YouTube channel as an appetizer for his conferences. There he discusses how to start a speech – and, more importantly, how NOT to start it.

The video has already surpassed one million views! If you haven’t seen it yet, rush to Conor Neil : How to start a speech and enjoy yourself.
