Keynote – Barbara Tannenbaum
summary
Practical, testable rules: repeat key points two to four times, use multisensory aids and turn features into benefits, lead with credibility and a clear WIIFM, and treat every exchange as goal-oriented, audience-centered. Visual first—a 15‑second silent clip predicts perceived competence—so fix lighting, camera height, background and use the blackout toggle (B or W) smartly. Remove filler words, adopt a tripod stance for stability, favor confident clothing (darker tones) and measure what actually changes behavior.
