Frame Your Story

 Vital part of preparation: Have


something worth talking about.
 Engaging the audience with a
journey: Where to start and where to
end.

Focus on specific examples and
unique contributions
Find the Perfect Mix of Data and Narrative

 Humans are wired to listen to stories: The


power of narratives.
 The engaging structure of a detective story
for presentations.
 Avoid abstract language and over-
explaining; let the audience draw
conclusions.
Plan Your Delivery

 Three main ways to deliver a talk: Reading,


bullet points, or memorization.
 Reading from a script or teleprompter can
create distance with the audience.
 Memorization takes effort but can deliver an
authentic and engaging talk.
Develop Stage Presence

 Physical act of being onstage:


Standing still, using hand gestures,
and making eye contact.
 Nervousness is normal; embrace
vulnerability and authenticity.
 Deep breathing and engagement
techniques to overcome nerves.
Plan the Multimedia

 Alternatives to traditional
PowerPoint: Using Prezi or relying on
visuals.
 The power of video to enhance
presentations but avoiding self-
promotional content.
 Choosing the right multimedia
elements to complement the talk.
Putting It Together

 Preparation process: Starting six months in


advance, ample practice time.
 Selecting the right audience for feedback and
constructive criticism.
 The success of a talk depends on the idea,
narrative, and speaker's passion.
Be Authentic and Memorable

 No one good way to do a talk:


Embrace authenticity and
individuality.
 The importance of substance over
style or formulaic approaches.
 Wait for a compelling idea worth
sharing if needed, decline invitations
Conclusion

 Great presentations are coachable,


focus on substance, and authenticity.
 Remember the power of storytelling,
engaging the audience, and being
yourself.
 Takeaways from TED Talks:
Impactful presentations for any
audience.
