Design experts recommend that presenters spend the majorityof their time thinking, sketching and scripting.
It is recommends that a presenter spend 90 hours creating an
hour long presentation with 30 slides.
But only one third of that time is spent building slides. Another
third is rehearsing, but the first third is spent collecting ideas,
organizing ideas, and sketching the story.

DOPAMINE
According to Scientist, The brain doesnt pay attention
to boring things. When the brain detects an
emotionally charged event, the amygdala releases
dopamine into the system dopamine greatly aids
memory and information processing. Its like a mental
post-it note that tells your brain, remember this.

How do people remember
BIRD

If information is presented orally, peopleremember about 10% of the content 72
hours later. That figure goes up to 65%
if you add a picture.

Your brain interprets every letteras a picture so wordy slides
literally choke your brain.

Stage Presence & PracticeFor two full days before a presentation, Steve Jobs will
practice the entire presentation, asking for feedback from
product managers in the room. For 48 hours, all of his
energy is directed at making the presentation the perfect
embodiment of Apples messages.

Wear the Appropriate
Costume
Steve Jobs is the anti-Cher. Where Cher will change costumes 140
times in one show, Jobs has one costume that he wears for every
presentation a black mock, blue jeans and running shoes.
Now, why can he get away with it? Because hes Steve Jobs.
Seriously, when you invent revolutionary computers, music players
and Smart Phones, your audience will give you permission to dress
anyway you want.

One Thing!
HAVE FUN!Most presenters lose sight of the fact that
audiences want to be informed and
entertained.
Always a presentation is infotainment
he/she teaches his audience something
new, reveals new information and has fundoing it.
That makes your show one thing
