They snooze, you lose: Chapter 4 – Rising CHIMES²

In today’s modern information flow, speed of presentation is one of the key factors in engaging the audience. Your ideas must be presented efficiently to maintain the audience’s attention and make the presentation stick. The form of the presenter’s dress is important, which is ironically one of Job’s tips from chapter three. An effective presentation will usually have a hook included to hold interest. The hook may be in the form of music, humor, images, emotion or stories. Susan Boyle’s hook was the juxtaposition between her appearance and the quality of her singing. It caught the world off guard and immediately garnished a lot of attention for her. Perhaps the most important element of an excellent presentation is to make a connection with the audience. Even if the presentation is efficient and has the right hook, it must still be presented with a smile and good dose of enthusiasm.
