This book will introduce you to a broad range of speech starters, using dozens of real-life examples and original suggestions. You will find opens intended to surprise, persuade, motivate, engage, and amuse your audiences. Some tell a story, others help frame your topic, and a few rely on modern technology.

â€¢ How to captivate your audience from your first words

â€¢ Why there are actually three opens for every speech

â€¢ How to select the right open for every occasion

â€¢ How to connect your open to your speech topic

â€¢ How not to begin a presentation

Although this book focuses on opens, almost all 101 techniques can also be used with great success in the middle of a presentation or to close just about any talk.
