  • Hey there, it's Carl Kwan here. So in this video, I'm gonna talk about another

  • way that you can use to start your presentation and get the audience's attention.

  • Now, this is going to be a really cool thing to learn because you've never heard this from

  • us before. And what I'm gonna tell you is that you're

  • gonna tell your audience that they're wrong and that you're right.

  • Now, why this is gonna work so well is because most people have a certain belief about a

  • particular topic. They're gonna have maybe a misconception or

  • they're gonna believe some kind of myth. And then you're gonna tell them why that is

  • actually false. So that sets you up as the expert and it also

  • makes them want to figure out, "Well, what don't I know?" to fill that knowledge gap

  • that they're gonna have. So what you're going to say is something like

  • this, right at the beginning you're gonna say

  • "You probably think that (whatever). Right? But you'd be wrong. And that's what I'm going

  • to talk about today." So you just fill in whatever with your topic.

  • So as an example, you could say something like this, "You probably believe, you probably

  • think…" You probably think, you probably believe,

  • both the same. "You probably believe that most people buy

  • based on logic. But you'd be wrong. And that's what I'm going to talk about today."

  • So you can change it to believe or think, it doesn't really matter, as long as you're

  • telling them that, "Hey, what you think or what you currently believe is actually not

  • true and I'm gonna tell you the truth." So it's a really fantastic way for you to

  • start your presentation to show that you're an expert and to get the audience's attention

  • right off the bat. So, if you have any questions about this particular

  • expression or anything else about presentations, please leave a comment below, we'd be more

  • than happy to answer your questions for you. Thank you once again.

  • Take care. All the best.
