Love this advice. When it comes to a presentation, classroom or workshop, I like to start off with a story. Before I even introduce myself, I draw the audience in, playing on their curiosity and the power of story to command attention while making a point. Works every time.
I do love that approach. I often cave and introduce myself first, but you're absolutely right that in a presentation, there is magic in just starting with the story before anyone knows who you are or why the story is happening. Definitely scores extra captivation points.
