: Module 4 of 910
Create better presentations using stories, graphic design, biology, and neuroscience.
Tips
Use storytelling techniques.
Format your presentation using the ‘dramatic arc’ plot line, and use emotion to tell a compelling story.
Phrase some information as questions.
This triggers a different part of the brain to keep you audience interested.
Make your graphics and animation meaningful.
They should illustrate or highlight a concept. Be careful your animation doesn’t dominate the slide.
Use new fonts.
You aren’t limited to Arial or Calibri (just make sure they are embedded in your file).
Use very little text.
You don’t want your audience to be reading the slides while trying to listen to what you are saying.
Do not read your presentation.
Your presentation should be like a conversation on a larger scale.
