    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

    From experience, it's not easy to take time away from preparing publications and other academic tasks to produce creative, quality, public-facing content like this. Thank you for making time for these videos, Alex! I'll be speaking during part of a program at church this weekend, and suggestion #4 helped spark a idea my talk needed.
  • Alex, I really appreciate your curating these tips for Best Practices of Opening a Speech. Really concise. To you question about effective openings (and this may fall under #5 to Use Visuals) I have seen speakers be announced, then the stage goes dark and a short but powerful video package is shown that relates to the topic. With the video, the full stereo sound and the darkening of the stage, this can be a very effective opening that you probably have seen. Thank you again for your great content.
  • You are the best communication Coach! Congrats for your channel it will hit 1 million subscribers very soon. Thank you for your help to improve my communication skills. God bless you Alex.
