Keynote Speakers
Dr Patrick Dixon - Lectures
World-class keynote speakers are very rare. Awful keynote speakers are unfortunately very common and dreaded by conference participants everywhere. You can usually tell if a keynote speaker is going to shine in less than a couple of minutes. What makes a good keynote speaker?
With a great keynote speaker there's an immediate total emotional and mental connection, a stage presence, an energy which captivates, the whole auditorium lights up. Being a keynote speaker is not a logical or rational thing only. You can watch videos of keynote speakers and try to analyze style or content but there's something else going on. In fact videos are a very poor tool to capture the experience of being part of a live audience that is being "worked" by a pro. It's almost mystical - the connection of one person with hundreds or thousands is the primary characteristic of a world-class keynote speaker.
