Engaging Through Story Telling
- There are two extremes, a report, and a dramatic story
- A presentation if includes facts and figures it wouldn’t be expressive enough.
- The data is supposed to be presented in a way that it’s linked with each other, and the audience knows the background regarding that data presented which would be told in the form of a story.
- Therefore to make it appealing and grabbing attention focus of the audience, presentations needs to be a mixture of reports and stories that would deliver the information in a story structure (YouTube).
How to tell a story:
- Story’s if have to be told in an effective way, so they have to form a connection between the storyteller and the audience.
- The audience should feel what the storyteller is saying.
- Story isn’t just that the story is changing throughout the story telling process, but something is changing inside the listeners while they hear great stories.
- The audience always learns one thing or the other from a story (YouTube).
Five Rules for presentations:
- Presentations are the most powerful communication tool
- Audience needs to be made feel special, and their needs should be met.
- Ideas should be moving, and the audience should be motivating through either image, or suspense might work.
- Reach out to everybody (YouTube).
Rule No 4 in the fourth video, expressing your presentation just through few words, sometimes just through a picture, etc. made the biggest impact. So now, I would rather express my data through pictures or just a few words rather than text on all the slides.
In a group presentation different people, can spread ideas in their own creative way and may use different styles (YouTube).
