More story presenting tips

Fellow spekers,

Here are some more tips on presenting your story:
  • Blank the screen after the point is made - keep people focused on you (not on your slides)
  • Make sure the colors and shapes go with the story message - some colors and shapes can send a message that is the opposite of what you want to show in your story (e.g., putting a "Stop sign" shape on positive information")
  • Arrive early so you have time to set the stage before telling your story
  • Get to the point - make sure your story has a point and that the audience gets that point

Storytime,

Tim
