Hooked in 10 Seconds: Mastering the Art of Powerful Speech Openings

Follow Us on Your Favorite Podcast Platform

You’ve got one shot to hook your audience—and it all starts with your first 10 seconds. In this episode of the Deep Dive, we explore what makes a speech opening unforgettable, based on research, real examples, and proven psychology.

Inside this episode:

  • Why starting with “Hi, my name is…” falls flat
  • How to use questions, jaw-dropping facts, or personal stories to capture instant attention
  • The secret power of narrative—and why stories build more trust than stats ever could
  • Practical tips to transform your next intro from forgettable to magnetic

🔐 Plus, we draw a powerful parallel to data security—because just like a strong intro, StoneFly helps organizations start with the right foundation in storage, backup, and ransomware protection.

🎤 Whether you’re leading a boardroom or taking the stage, this episode will change how you think about your opening line.
