How do you start a good presentation?
Sometimes it is difficult to grab the complete attention of your audience right away with a spectacular presentation and an engaging story. Many people start their presentation boring with a still image and a piece of text containing the topic and some personal information. Everyone does this and does not grab the viewer’s attention. Start your presentation with an introduction, of course, but make sure your introduction is original and spectacular. Animate your first slide in such a way that people immediately read what’s on the screen and keep listening attentively to your story. If you let too much happen during your presentation on the screen, the listener’s attention falls away and they are entirely occupied with the animations on the screen. Make sure the animations and the story connect with each other.
In terms of story, make sure you have an interesting story to tell. You can do this with anything, even if it’s about the boring numbers and statistics. Make sure you have a continuous story where the listener wants to know more and is curious to learn more about the next topic. Do not overwhelm your audience with pieces of text and information, if you do this you will lose the attention of your listeners and your presentation will be useless. Dose your information and tell around it. If it is necessary to show a table or graph, explain it to your audience so they understand what they are seeing.
Present enthusiastically, making sure your audience sees that you are interested in the topic and that you would also like them to learn more about it. If you stick to this then you will have a good start to a great presentation!
