Frames create meaning – explain upfront so people understand how this relates to them, their work, the point, the context Tell’em what you are going to tell’em. Tell’em. Then tell’em what you told’em.”
Chronological – shows events in order Narrative – takes audience on a journey Problem/Solution – states the problems, root causes, etc. Cause/Effect Topic/Sub-topic – for some reason most people can remember 3 at a maximum Journalistic – What, Who, Where, When, Why, How?

Similar to waves which build, peak, crash down, there are swells in any presentation/training environment A presentation is like a dinner course – entrée, main, desert need to be digested seperately with downtime between each course The audience needs time to reflect, absorb new information – you need to pause to give them time. Do this by switching modes or by get them to discuss with each other.
People remember: 20% of what they read, 30% of what they hear 40% of what they see, 50% of what they say 60% of what they do 90% of what they read, hear, say and do
World Press Photo Winner 2009 – Moving through a home in Ohio following a foreclosure Pictures are great but don’t let them distract from your audience from hearing what you are saying Use your body movements to draw attention to, away from the picture Audiences remember your presentation best if they are allowed to digest a new slide for a few seconds At this point use PowerPoint controls to remove image – B for Black, W for White

Give your handouts AFTER the presentation if possible so they won’t be reading them while you’re talking which distracts you If the lights are too dim, then audience focuses on PowerPoint slides, not you (or sleeps)
When you get there, if you’re nervous, then slowly clench your right fist tighter and tighter or use deep breathing techniques to slow down your heart rate
Teach people, not content – Rich Allen People should - be physically, socially comfortable - see the content is applicable to their work, life, etc. - feel emotionally safe We teach with people, not to people – different from school era “ No-one knows as much as all of us” If you can, get people to introduce themselves
Intonation – make your voice more livelier by changes in your intonation Pacing – when we’re excited or nervous, pacing might be off. Practice – and remember to Pause between concepts/modalities Never use a big word when a small word will do
If possible, work the room, work the audience Pause for effect – stand still to make an important point Radiate energy
