Here are some ways to grab attention:
| How To Grab Attention |
Ask a question: A question can get the audience involved immediately. You can ask a question that's directly or indirectly related to your topic. You can also ask a rhetorical question, which is a question that doesn't require an answer but instead sparks interest and makes the audience think.
Use a prop: A prop can help capture the audience's attention and illustrate key points.
Tell a story: Start with an anecdote that's directly related to your speech.
Use visual content: Break up long blocks of text with images to give the reader a break.
Use a call to action: A call to action tells the reader to "Do Something" and gets them to respond.
Encourage audience participation: Encourage the audience to post photos, tweet parts of the talk, or livestream.
Create useful content: Use simple and short sentences, and include emoji, bold text, bulleted lists, and subheadings to emphasize important thoughts.
