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.
