1. Tell a captivating story
Everyone has got their own story, which is quite similar to yours. Use this as an advantage and start with a compelling story that reminds them of their time. Create a bond with your audience and make them laugh, if your story is compelling enough, they will give you all the attention you need. This trick can even make shitty conversations sounds interesting.
2. Ask rhetorical or thought-provoking questions
Just make sure not to pick questions out of the context. If you are able to ask the right question in the right way you can easily influence your audience.
3. Add facts and figures
Including statistics and headlines concerning the main objective of your presentation can help your audience to trust you and what you are saying easily. Just make sure to use all the positive facts and figures.
