Before you attend Storytelling and Talking Frogs at the ASTD Atlanta ACE2012 conference, take a look at this copy of the pre-session handout we will be working with during the session. Get a head start with your transfer-of-learning. Reflect on the questions and be ready to learn more.
First
60 seconds have the most impact
What do you do in the first 60 seconds of your
presentation, training, interview, report, or briefing, to generate excitement, create
anticipation, and find the motivation of your audience?
What does YOUR body language tell your audience?
Do you know who your character is?
Before you make an important statement that you want people to hear, what do you do?
Who do you talk to in a room when you deliver material?
Do you know what your voice sounds like? Do you
capitalize on sounds?
The
Story
Do you plan your story every time you speak to
others? Do you answer questions the audience might want to know?
Do you know how much time you spend talking and
asking compared to your pauses?
What are your favorite stories to use in presenting?
Are they yours?
Can you tell great jokes to keep your audience
interested?
Are you always, always, always ready with an
alternative plan?
Too short? Too long? Are you prepared for the
unexpected?
Last
60 seconds have most impact
What do you do to create a lasting image and
re-motivate participants?
Do you often trail off, use trite phrases, and
leave the audience to draw its own conclusions?
How well do you use undeniable truths, reverse
links, and silence?
