A fun-filled and super useful TTT workshop was held on Oct 13 afternoon in Jeff's office.
5 key points to remember
1. Find your emotional, selfish reason for attending or delivering workshop. It's your motivation.
2. Use Evaluation criteria form to evaluate your and other's workshop. It is critical to have standard to tell how good your workshop is.
3. Use Presentation pyramid. The most important part is purpose.
4. Practice - Practice - Practice: That’s the ONLY way to improve - PRACTICE
5. PPT and Delivery TIPS
Avoid long sentences: Audience will start to read, and you lose their attention. Use key words.
Use pictures: Use good quality emotion inducing images. Can't find a pic? Even arranging five bullet points in a circle will make it like a pic.
Use most content for the most key part: The most key part for a Pathways presentation is the benefit to the audience. Delete other unnecessary information.
Asking questions: This is the chance to engage your audience, always let the audience to answer first. Use simple click to show the answer next.
Personal stories or boring facts?: Use personal stories. Human brain likes stories. Prepare a lot of stories for your workshop.
What if audience objects? It's OK but you can't ignore them. Be prepared to deal with them.
Know your slide contents: Avoid looking back and reading your slides. You could do actual rehearsal or practice a piece of it every time you go to bathroom, or elsewhere.
Add excitement: If you are not exciting, how could your audience be? Use inviting body language and relax, avoid too stiff and nervous. Present like a conversation with your friend.
Your voice: Natural and charming. Slow down and get your voice out of your abdomen and project to the top of your head (crown).
