If you have the best speech of ALL TIME prepared and ready to roll, it isn't going to mean a thing unless the first 15 minutes absolutely KILL. That's just how people's attention span works. If you open strong, the length of your presentation is not even an issue. Keep up the good work! I couldn’t agree with you more!

This is sure a plan that can't fail. Most likely motivation is the only thing that can force nearly anyone to listen attentively to what is said. Thanks for posting this.
