Simple But Impactful

Oleh : Seftyana Trisia Pardosi

One of my favorite materials while participating in the Online Professional Public Speaking Batch 22 Program was The Opening Speech at the 2nd Encounter.When starting with greetings, we can greet with our best smiling voice.This will attract the attention of the participants.Next, we can introduce ourselves to show who we are and how we are relevant to conveying the content of our material.You don't always have to be an expert, those of us who have personal experience about something can also convey that content.

What's even more interesting, we can tell a story or storytelling.According to Joshua VanDeBrake, "everyone loves a good story".For this reason, we can open our speaking with interesting stories.Next, how can the story be related to the participants, so that they are curious about our speaking material.

Nah, dari sini peserta pasti akan lebih siap untuk mendengarkan saya lebih lanjut. Selama pengalaman saya melakukan latihan dikelas, saya merasakan kesiapan dari teman-teman peserta kelas regular lainnya.. Hal ini juga akhirnya membuat saya nyaman untuk melanjutkan isi materi saya. Untuk itu, saya menyebut section Opening Speech ini menjadi bagian yang sederhana namun berdampak. Terima kasih.
