Garr Reynolds gives us

3 TIPS

Tip 1

Prepare

Before you start typing awayon your laptop..

Plan Analog

Go back to your whiteboard

Pick up your good old pencil

Take some alonetime.

Take a step back.

Keep only the relevant matter.

Snip out all that is not needed.

For every point:Instead of asking

“WHAT?”Ask…

SO WHAT ?

If you can’t find a answerto that question,

it’s best to

CUT IT OUT

Use story telling techniques

to tell“sticky” stories.

How to make your stories

“stick”?

and

Be Emotional

Tip 2

to…

Design yourPresentations

to visually explain the POSITIVE CHANGEdue to your idea.

Your Audience:

Before After

Tip 3

Give an awesomeDelivery

How to delivera presentation?

Shall we use LOGIC and REASONING?

Meh

We need to use

Emotions

to get our point across.

Humans respond to emotions.

Give your audience an emotional reason to believe in

what you are saying.

Also don’t put EVERYTHING you’re about to

say in the slides.

THE SLIDES ARE NOT THE PRESENTATION.

YOU

Are the presentation.

• Be Passionate• Be Interactive• Be Excited• Be Vulnerable

But most importantly…

BE YOURSELF
