“So many presenters mistake memorization for preparation” says Darren, as he and Mark reveal some powerful principles for preparing and delivering unforgettable presentations.
SNIPPETS:
• Don’t memorize; internalize
• Avoid rehearsing just to remember the words; rehearse to remember the idea
• Use STAGEOLOGY to anchor your ideas to specific places on stage
• Give your audience and idea, principle, technique, habit, tip or action item
• Deliberately rehearse with loud noises in the room
• It’s not ‘if’, but ‘when’ you will encounter unexpected distractions
• Learn from the ways that comedians handle hecklers
• Prepare your presentation in chunks and rehearse them out of sequence
