Playbook: Presentations

🔑

Become an amazing presenter so you can inspire others, share your ideas with the world, and influence change.

Our mirror neurons are so strong. The best way to learn is to watch someone do something, then mimic them. In this case, I've complied some awesome presentation styles that you can analyze. Different people will have different styles, but generally, here's what you should focus on mastering:

Emotion - Get your audience to feel emotional during your presentation. This could be positive emotions like motivation and inspiration, or negative emotions like sadness and anger.

Storytelling - We love stories. If you can learn how to master storytelling, you can hold people's attention for hours. This form of communication is also the best way for people to remember your message.

Boss Mentality - Own the stage, be a boss. Imagine you were Steve Jobs or Sheryl Sandberg, managing thousands of people, how would you act? Always have boss mentality.

Authenticity - Be you! Don't try to be overly professional. Don't be fake because it's what you think people want to see. Develop yourself to be awesome, then show that awesomeness to everyone!

Legit Content - Make sure your content is strong. Teach the audience interesting things and show that you know what you're talking about. The best way to do this is to not be fluff. If you don't know what you're talking about and try to fake it, people will see through you. Just be legit.

Enthusiasm - Make sure people feel your enthusiasm, passion, and positive vibes. This is even more important when you're young - inspire people.
