Let’s start at the beginning – those valuable first few minutes on stage. Full of nerves you stand in front of a sea of faces… So, how do you open your presentation and get your audience’s participation from the word go?

  • Ask a broad question that people are most likely to answer yes to.
  • Then Flip It – because that way you have involved everyone
  • Sometimes you might have to encourage your audience to join in
    by a physical signal to put up their hand.
