7 Excellent Ways To Start A Presentation
Motivate your audience
1. Tell a captivating story.
The story can be about you personally, which tells the audience first-hand why you're invested in and passionate about the topic. Or you can tell a story about another person who the audience can learn from. "Another option: tell a fable, wisdom tale, historic event, or anecdote," Price says. "The idea is, start with a brief 60- to 90-second narrative that launches your speech and captivates your listeners, and make sure the story encapsulates the key point of your message."
