Do you think that an introduction like that (I'm going to talk about...) is interesting? And would that grab your attention?

1. No I would already be bored.
2. Yes I like it. I would listen carefully.
3. It is not bad but not good either.
4. Everyone starts like that. It should be creative and special.

So you can start your presentation by telling a _____

03:10

So instead of asking yourself 'what am I going to talk about' you should ask yourself '' _____________''

4 steps to an introduction

1. Start with a hook (hook= iets wat de aandacht trekt) 

Like a story or a question > Do you guys also hate going to bed and feeling very cold? ....

2. Transition to topic

So what does the hook have to do with your presentation? > ''I'm asking this because I know I'm not the only one with this struggle. Recently I discovered an amazing product that solved my issue and this product is exactly what I will be introducing to you today.''

3. short introduction of who you are. (in onze geval kan je deze stap overslaan.)

4. Audience benefit (dus wat is het nut van jouw presentatie voor jouw publiek)

''If you want to sleep more comfortably without being scared of paying high electricity bills then  this product is just what you need. .....''

introduction (10-15 min)

- Schrijf nu zelf een korte introductie voor jouw presentatie.

- Gebruik de stappen van de vorige slide. (je hoeft niet met een vraag te beginnen. Mag dus ook een verhaal/ metafoor etc)
- Wees creatief! Jouw doel is om het onderwerp zo interessant mogelijk te introduceren om de aandacht te trekken. 

- schrijf het op in een google drive/ word document om het goed te bewaren.

- Ik loop langs en geef feedback.
