7 Dynamic Ways to Start a Presentation With Examples


Listen Later

Looking for a few ways to start a presentation that are dynamic? We’ve all been there as a speaker. You walk out onto a stage or into the front of the room. The audience is staring at you with skepticism written all over their faces. This stoic crowd has no patience for speakers who waste their time. And their demeanor is showing that fact right now.

You need the best way to start your presentation so that you win over the audience members.

I’ve been there myself. Below are a few of my favorite ways to start a speech that will help you capture the attention of your audience from your audience and get even the most stoic crowd to want more from you.

Here is the list of presentation openers.


7 Dynamic Ways to Start a Presentation

  1. Give Your Presentation Summary and Conclusion First.
  2. Start the Presentation with a Compelling Story.
  3. Use a Startling Statistic to Start a Presentation.
  4. A Funny or Motivational Quote or One-Liner.
  5. Start with an Opinion Asking Question.
  6. Make a Powerful or Shocking Statement to Start a Speech.
  7. Arouse Curiosity with a Hook.
  8. A Bonus Way to Start a Presentation Is to Add Showmanship.

I added additional information and examples for each of these presentation openers in the show notes at 7 Dynamic Ways to Start a Presentation
