One of the most efficient ways to get an audience on the edge of their seat is: to ask a few direct questions at the beginning of your communication. That way, they feel like you could do that throughout your presentation, and they feel obliged to follow you closely. Asking questions at the beginning is also the ideal way to get to know your audience and to connect. You can also literally use content from your audience in the presentation. Ask them what they are doing, where they come from, what they expect from your presentation. The liveliness of your speech is also greatly enhanced by inviting a guest or a guest speaker. Interview him or let him interview you. That brings a bigger variety and often a greater relevance.
