You could start your presentation with...

"Hi, my name is John and I am the CEO of Health Unlimited and I am excited to be here today."

But that does not grab your audience's attention.

Instead, start with a startling statistic, fact, story, example, anecdote or audience participation.

Here's an example:

"One teaspoon. The Center for Disease Control recommends that the average adult only consume one teaspoon of salt per day. However, 90% of adults consume more sodium than is recommended. Hi, my name is John and I am the CEO of Health Unlimited and I am excited to be here today."
