What’s the secret of a great presentation?
Storytelling
Co-Creation
Frameworks
While every presentation is different, we always ensure three elements are included whenever we speak with an audience:
Storytelling
Stories are memorable and give people a frame of reference they can repeat and share to spread the message. Lots of people have retold our stories about Michael Jordan’s final shot and trying to find the perfect cup of coffee in Bali.
Frameworks
We use frameworks to boil down a complicated topic into something they can take away and apply - eg. Shuhari is a complex idea, but breaking it down into three stages (beginner, intermediate, mastery) makes it easy to apply in a business setting.
Co-Creation
Give them something interactive so they get the feel for the topic, not just intellectual stimulation -eg. Just learning about change management is one thing, but actually building a matrix of the 5 biggest changes facing their organisation gives them a tangible artefact they can take back to the office.
