    1. tell a concise story
    - the story has a beginning, middle, end, and the lesson-learned
    - the best stories show transformation and growth
    2. ask the audience some key questions
    - the questions should set up the main message of your presentation
    - consider asking 2 or 3 connected questions
    3. share a powerful quotation
    4. share an interesting fact or statistic
    5. use a visual illustration
    Tips:
    - develop your opening after you've created a draft of the rest of the presentation
    - combine openings

      If it's a 30-second story, yes. But that is a challenge and takes practice.

    I have seen some speaker use visuals such as video or musical video as a speech opening.....how do you see that?

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'm not supportive of using much video at all in presentations, especially to open. My reason is simple, showing a video is not public speaking. Professional speakers essentially never open with a video. I don't recommend it.
