I use "Agenda" as the second slide in my presentations. First is the session title with my name, title, etc.

I don't read the agenda, and the name is self-explanatory. Just mention this is what will be covered and I talk about housekeeping, but this works well.

I have also at times used this same slide multiple times in the presentation at the beginning of each section, highlighting the area that is being covered.

You could go old "school" and stick with "Objectives".

I like this advice that I heard long ago:

Tell 'em what you're gonna' tell 'em.
Tell 'em.
Tell 'em what you told 'em.

Adjourn.

EDIT moved from a comment and added to this answer at the suggestion of @Neil Fein:

It's a professional presentation, you're a professional, so act like one. The best opening, imo, is "what I'm going to talk about." Anything else looks like you're apologizing for stealing their valuable time; if that were true, they wouldn't be in the audience. If you try for humor, it had better be sure-fire and guaranteed to bring a laugh, otherwise you will look as foolish, inept, and unprofessional as every other presenter who ever tried the exact same thing. Just imo.

Consider removing the ToC page. I never use them any more, and nobody misses them.
