One of the elements that should never be forgotten in a presentation
Tell a story.
How can we hook our audience on the spot and indicate them that we are going to tell a story
Start by… two months ago or last tuesday
Less is more.
Let´s try to say less to express more. No need of lenghy explanations.
Be descriptive in relation to the speech
Give colors,etc.
Logos
Reason
Ethos
Credibility (why should the audience believe you and not somebody else?)
Pathos
Emotion (Sympathy, empathy). Means to add feelings to the presentations
It is not what you know
Is what they can remember… focus in 3, and only 3, points in your speech
An image is more than one thousand words but words can also generate a lot of images
Use metaphors. Use photos instead of text powerpoints.
Another way of adding interest to your speech
Include how did you feel in this or the othe situation
What can we do instead of giving generic allusions?
Give concrete examples. People like them more as they like concrete images.
What is the hook?
Same when in one film they say to be continued and they break off. It is to say something but not disclose it.
What is OMG in public speaking
Something bad that makes everybody say Oh my God! later you have to return to a positive situation by telling the recovery, etc. It can be also an AHA o a WHAT. But what is clear is that we need to have a twist, something that changes the direction and make people go in a totally different direction.
What are the four ways of making humor with an audience
. Pick on individuals (reirse de uno en concreto)
. Say the unexpected (roar = descojonarse)
. Laught at yourself (self-deprecation, self-mockery)
. Be politically incorrect
If you know some words in another language please use it, it will be something your audience will like.
Raison d’être
Pasive or active voice
Allways in active voice, pasive is impersonal.
Every word counts in public speaking and negative words will count against you.
No cheap but affordable, no expensive but exclusive, no little agency but agile agency.
Use sound bites will make your speech more credible
Sound bite = cita jugosa o fragmento de entrevista
