Be Engaging
"Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful."
Engage with the Audience
It takes a village
Make the audience feel like they were involved.
Silence is just an effect
The first one to talk, buys.
Live performances should be alive
You should be able to go off script and/or abandon visual aids.
Let the Audience Engage with the Content
Ditch the jargon
You have to translate before you can communicate.
Let go of the rigor
Everyone assumes you're the expert. You don't need to prove yourself — you need to be heard.
Turn the listeners into collaborators
The audience should have questions and comments they didn't arrive with.
Make Them Care
What's in it for them?
How can they contribute?
