Everyone will have different opinions on what makes a good introduction.

Building on your thoughts from the previous section, write a short guide on what you think makes for the best opening for a talk.

Remember:

• There aren’t any hard and fast rules for introductions.
• What might suit one speaker’s presentation style may not work for everyone.
• You might want to think about Bill Davenhall’s talk or the one you will present yourself to give some focus.
