Create a strong beginning

Every great movie needs a great opening scene to hook viewers from the start. Presentations are no different. If a presentation kicks off with a thrilling opener, the audience is more likely to stay engaged.
The opener could be a surprising act, an open question, a striking visual, an anecdote, an icebreaker — or whatever fits your style. Ideally, your opener should also capture the essence of your presentation and prepare the audience for what’s coming. But the most important thing is that the opener hooks your audience right away and keeps them engaged and excited to dig into the subject.
