YIKES - I MESSED UP! Hey RUclips Real quick... I just re-watched this video and realized I did a horrible job explaining the "W" in W.A.V.E. (The Welcome) So, I figured I'd make this little post for as a better explanation. The first step of the WAVE framework is the Welcome. Now, let me be clear, this is more than just a greeting; it's your golden opportunity to create a connection with every single person in the room. Imagine walking into two different events. At the first event, you're met with a generic, monotone 'Good evening, everyone' from the emcee. It's bland and forgettable, and you blend into the crowd, feeling more like a ticket number than a valued attendee. Now, picture the second event. As you enter, the emcee glows, saying something like, 'Welcome, friends! Whether it’s your first time joining us, or you’re a familiar face in our community, we’re thrilled to have each of you here. Together, we're about to embark on a remarkable journey where you’’ discover….’ This time, you feel seen, acknowledged, and part of something special. That’s the power of a well-scripted welcome. When you script the welcome for your next event, do: 1. Be Inclusive: Recognize the diversity of your audience. Whether they are seasoned attendees or first-timers, local guests, or international delegates, make sure each person feels specifically addressed and welcomed. 2. Show Genuine Enthusiasm: Your energy sets the event's energy. A warm, enthusiastic welcome can energize the audience and build anticipation for what's to come. Let your tone convey your excitement about the event and its value to attendees. 3. Create a Sense of Belonging: Use your welcome to foster a community feeling. Phrases like "We're thrilled to have you here," or "We're in this together" can go a long way in making your audience feel like they're part of something special. I hope this helps better explain what I meant to communicate in the video!

Hi Devon.
When I am utilizing the WAVE Framework, when can I introduce myself as the MC?
