Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies28 Feb 2017

003: The Key Elements of a Good Presentation

Go behind the scenes as I deconstruct the key elements of the presentation I recently gave at Podfest Multimedia Expo, which is a podcasting conference.

I do the speech for you (it's less than 7 minutes) and then I deep dive into why I chose this topic, explain the structure I used, and describe how and why I connected the opening and closing.

You'll learn about 3-act structure, the rule of 3, using humor and inspiration, and the call back.

The presentation I gave is called a Pecha Kucha talk. The format for a Pecha Kucha is 20 slides x 20 seconds each (so the entire presentation is only 6 minutes and 40 seconds).

The title of the presentation is "Zebras, Chameleons, and Peacocks: Speaking Your Brand in Our New Media Age." Which are you? Which should you be? (You may be surprised!)

You can view the slides and get the free PDF on the show notes page at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/podfest-pecha-kucha-presentation/.

Let me know if you found this episode useful and I'll do more of them in the future.

Finally, I have two requests:

First, if you haven’t yet, be sure to subscribe to the podcast.

Second, share this podcast with a friend. Do you know another entrepreneur who's looking to do more speaking for her business? Let her know about this show.
