"So Good" or "So What?" — It's Your Intro's Call

Public Speaking with Peter George··20 August 2026·5 min

About this episode

Most speaker introductions are really just bios in disguise — a list of credentials that leaves your audience thinking "so what?" instead of "I can't wait to hear this person." In this episode, learn how to write an introduction that's actually about your audience, not you, and how to run every line through a simple relevance test. You'll also find out what to do when your carefully written intro falls apart at the last second because it will happen eventually. Walk away with a clear plan for writing, coaching, and recovering your introduction, so you start every talk already connected to the room.
