Welcome back to another episode with your host, Leanne Hughes. I received a listener question from my friend, Juraj Holub and thought I'd share my thoughts on the show.

Here's the question:
I'm thinking about the flow of a session.

Let me share more details. 

Goal: I'd like the workshop participants to practice and learn "how to open a presentation."

Option A:
- Participants go first and deliver their opening to their current best capabilities. 
- We debrief each opening (What went well? What could be improved?)
- After that, I'll share and add additional tips on how to best open a presentation.

Option B:
- We start with a group brainstorming about the best ways to open a presentation.
- Only then do participants get the chance to step on stage and deliver their opening.
- We debrief each opening

What are your thoughts?
What factors would you consider in your response?
