Opening your talk?

Skip the waffle. No one cares where you work or how many awards you've worked on.

Grab attention with a hook like, a question, or a bold statement, then get straight to the good stuff.

@d_yellowlees @wendynather But but but! Where am I to put pictures of my cats and also talk about them?
@wendynather @leb every other slide can and should be a cat picture
@d_yellowlees @wendynather Perhaps small cat pictures in the corner of every slide. I have enough cat photos on my phone to last me many many many presentations
