Open Strong or Lose Them Fast
Your first 30 seconds can make or break your talk. Strong openers grab attention, build connection, and set the tone. Here are 5 powerful opening strategies:
- Start with a personal story – “I almost didn’t make it here today… but that moment changed everything.”
- Ask a bold question – “What if your greatest setback is actually your setup?”
- Use a powerful quote – “Maya Angelou once said, ‘People will forget what you said…’”
- Shock with a stat or fact – “Every 2 minutes, someone gives up on their dream. Let’s change that.”
- Make ‘em laugh – A well-placed, relatable joke opens hearts and ears.
