Thank you Alex. This is very useful. In case we have a group presentation, how can we make sure to introduce every team members and then start the introduction of the presentation interestingly?
@alexanderlyon7 жыл бұрын
Hi, Tracy. I actually do not recommend introducing the group members first like that. I always recommend starting with a strong attention getter without anything before it, not even introductions. Instead, you can mention names in passing within the rest of the presentation. One way to do it is long the way as you transition to somebody else in the group, you can say their name. For example, I'd say, "Now, Tracy is going to give an example of how this would work." That's a much more natural way to do it. However, if you really, really want to do it in the introduction, then do it somewhere between the attention grabber and the preview of main points. I would recommend against doing it as the first part of the introduction. I hope this helps.

@ishanigupta923 жыл бұрын
Just saw your Q. Quotes and Questions are not the only things you use as attention grabbers. There are plenty of ways to start your presentation.. For example.. You can start with some current news story/event relevant to your topic. Or some story.. Or some fun fact. You need to make the decision and be as creative as possible in starting your topic. Hope this helps.

It's better to be concise. I'd say a 1 min. hook is okay in a long presentation of say 30 min or more. But, a 2 min hook might drag unless it is simply amazing. Probably the #1 complaint about speakers is that they are long-winded. So, it's better to be concise.

Could you explain why you would want to address audience relevance before providing a thesis statement? In my mind it seems like the thesis statement would be necessary to provide the needed context for why your topic is relevant to the audience.
@alexanderlyon5 жыл бұрын
You raise a great question. There's certainly wiggle room on this order if your message calls for it. On the one hand, your attention grabber/opening should reveal what you're talking about as should the audience relevance. So, let's say you're talking using study skills to get As in class. The attention-grabber should naturally connect to school, studying, and getting good grades. Your audience relevance should do that, too. By the time you get to your thesis, you should have provided the context for your specific argument. If an introduction is done this way, all of the necessary context is provided before you give your claim and preview statement. On the other hand, however, every presentation is different and some times people will use a rather creative and powerful attention grabber that may not be obviously connected to the specific topic they'll talk about. In cases like those, then I think you are quite right at the thesis should come earlier so they can follow you and then you can explain the relevance once the topic has been clearly communicated. My default approach in all of my presentations is to use the order in the video and I just build it in a way that my topic is obvious in my attention getter. So, I say, "Be sure to reveal the topic in your attention getter so people know what you're going to be speaking about." But, that's different than a specific thesis statement.

@thesoultwins726 жыл бұрын
+Communication Coach....Hi Alex - I really liked your video and you have some very useful tips. However, I would like to make a couple of points. Firstly, in the opening I like to very quickly tell my audiences how long the presentation will take - and also invite them to ask questions as we go along. This has three really good benefits: 1. the audience immediately knows how much of their time I am going to take. [and this is absolutely vital nowadays!] 2. It encourages interaction and prompts the audience to think more about my messages [and how they relate to the audience's expectations] 3. You won't over-run having to deal with any questions at the end or prohibit people from asking questions. [audiences don't want to be at a presentation any longer than they need to!] Secondly your suggestions for the closing statements - I have to disagree. The moment you say those ubiquitous phrases - ''So, in conclusion....''. ''To sum up....''' etc - your audience will be putting on their coats and packing their stuff away! [ie; they won't be listening!] Yet this is arguably THE most important part of your talk and satisfies the 'recency' element of how we remember. The closing needs to be powerful, memorable and a call to action. For example, you might ask the audience what it is that they found most useful about your talk [by relating this to your opening 'impact statement']. Or you can ask them what they will do differently after listening to you. [which also serves as a job aid]. I hope my comments help but I will definitely subscribe to your channel! Cheers!

You mean the very end when you say, "Thank you?" I recommend to keep that very brief. When you're done with your content, just pause, say thank you, and smile and walk off after about 1-2 seconds. Is that what you mean? if not, let me know what specifically you need help with and I'll do my best to answer.

Yes, just say thank you to everybody at the end. I wouldn't specifically thank the teacher unless that is an expectation that is clear. You can, if you'd like, look directly at the teacher with warm eye contact as you say thank you. That might be a nice touch.

@alexanderlyon3 ай бұрын
For beginning speakers, there's a tendency to not know how to end. So, they end up saying things like "That's it." or "That's the end." Or even worse, they try to end but they don't pause long enough and when nobody claps, they panic and start repeating themselves. To prevent beginners from doing that, I always recommend that when they are finished, they say thank you, nod, and zip their mouth. That prevents all of the most common mistakes beginners usually make right at the end. More advanced speakers don't typically need that advice, but beginners do. Having said all that, it's never wrong to say thank you at the end. Even CEOs and numerous Presidents of the US say it at the end of some of their speeches. Having a strict rule against saying "thank you" at the end sounds to me like it needs additional explanation. To me, that sounds like a specific speaker/teacher didn't like the way "thank you" sounded for their own personal reasons and then tried to make it into a rule. I doubt, in other words, that is based on any sort of research.
