so impressive
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

Thank you Mr Alexsander.
thank you for making a pdf, i really apreciate it
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.

Excellent tips - thanks!
This was my opening at a recent speech. As I was walking to the stage I got them to play Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy..... "it was all a dream, I used to read word-up magazine" *music cuts ✂️* I start..... "it was all a dream to compete at the big stadiums in Bangkok at the start of my muay thai career"...... I got the audience early

Just found podcast Alex. Interesting format. Maybe you can do series on politicians, at least local. Andrew Tate would be good as well.

Thanks for these tips. If one is making a very short pitch of only 3 mins (for eg in a startup pitch by students), wld there be enough time to incorporate stories?

If it's a 30-second story, yes. But that is a challenge and takes practice.

I have seen some speaker use visuals such as video or musical video as a speech opening.....how do you see that?

I'm not supportive of using much video at all in presentations, especially to open. My reason is simple, showing a video is not public speaking. Professional speakers essentially never open with a video. I don't recommend it.

For someone who claims to be a communication expert, his thumbnail is confusing. If the talk is about opening, he should realise that the King in a chess board can’t participate in any opening moves!

Your website is way too busy. Way too many things popping up. Especially the ”cookie” pop up. The screen is constantly jumping around. It’s hard to focus on any one click.

Nope. My website literally has zero popups and we don't track cookies. And nothing moves on the screen. It's all just text and stable images.
