Speaking

Bring this talk
to your campus.

The video is the recorded version. Live, it is built for the room in front of it — a graduating class, a career-center workshop, a parents’ orientation — and sized to the slot you have.

Formats

Three ways it fits a schedule

15

The short version

Minutes. The talk as recorded — a commencement slot, an awards evening, or the opening of a longer programme.

45

Talk & questions

Minutes. The full six parts with time at the end for the questions students actually want to ask out loud.

90

Career-center workshop

Minutes. Hands-on — resumes on the table, mock interview questions, the four-step answer practised in the room.

What you get

No slides to set up.

Don brings the talk; you bring the room. The animated slides in the video are there to carry a recording — live, it runs on a microphone and a stage, and works just as well without a screen at all.

Bulk copies of the book can be arranged alongside a booking, which is what most career centers do — the talk gives the room the shape of it, and the book stays on the shelf afterwards.

Tell Don the date, the audience and the slot — he will come back with what fits.
