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.

@alexanderlyon Год назад

Yes, it's been very difficult to keep creating videos like this. My nights and weekends are filled with it. I'm glad the tips were helpful for your church program!

@wesleydouglas5278 21 день назад

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.

@alexanderlyon 21 день назад

Yes, I've seen professional-level keynote speakers have an introduction like that. That's usually a great way to kick things off. I've seen some amazing ones. But I don't consider that part of the speech really. That's an audio-visual introduction. If it's not coming out of the speakers, then it's not something I can teach. On an everyday basis, most people who speak in workplace settings are typically just introduced by whoever invited them to be the speaker that day.

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

@IamMichelleDewitt Год назад

@alexanderlyon Год назад

Thanks for your comment, Michelle. If you pump up your opening like this, they won't even know what hit them.

@fonglingchoong4845 7 месяцев назад

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?

@alexanderlyon 7 месяцев назад

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

@abimbolaadedotun2782 6 месяцев назад

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

@alexanderlyon 6 месяцев назад

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.

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.

@alexanderlyon 2 месяца назад

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.

@Wiintb 8 месяцев назад

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!

@alexanderlyon 8 месяцев назад

I love chess! I used the King as an illustration in the video.
