Never Apologize - How To Open Strong
Episode 003: Never Apologize - How To Open Strong
Key Lesson: Never start a talk with an apology or excuse—it’s the “unpardonable sin” of speaking.
Why Not to Apologize:
Undermines your credibility.
Shifts focus from the audience to your insecurity.
Sets a negative tone.
What to Do Instead:
Start with a gripping story.
Use humor tied to something that happened earlier.
Tell a bold, relevant punchline joke.
