Four days prior to the conference, he asks you to fill in because of a death in his family. Reluctantly, you agree. Which of the following are good openings to your presentation?

Choose all that apply

“Hi, I’m Mike Williams. Dr. Smith can’t make it today because of a death in his family, so I’m here in his place. I’m one of his partners. However, I’ll apologize now since I don’t know the material as well as he does. “

“Hi, I’m Mike Williams, Dr. Smith’s partner. Today, I’m going to talk to you about our latest research project.”

Avoid mentioning that you are shaking and sweating because this is your first national presentation.

Use a provocative question to grab their attention.
