Either in academics or in professional life, have you kick off your presentation with some story to grasp the audience attention? any story???
personally, if I have a related story to my topic I will use it as a kind of hook to grab audions attintion
Yes did for couple of presentation and learned that story must be short and relevant to content of presentation to bring audience attention.
yes, I have given lot of presentaions and its always very good to give a backdrop of usefullness of upcoming content. its like create a need to listen to you in advance
