the fear
Our instinctual brain thinks that a group of people looking at us silently means they are about to eat us.
they are.
Well, they are about to devour our words and our lessons.
THE SPIRAL

the preparation
Ways to practice
TECHNIQUE ONE: script it: read over that script until you memorize it enough to be able to ad lib (note: do NOT use a script on stage) read it to yourself 10x read it out loud 10x record yourself in garageband 2x listen to it on your ipod 5x THEN present it to someone else
Ways to practice
TECHNIQUE TWO: let your deck tell the story Lessig Style - create 300+ slides that talk as you talk (its artsy and, consequently, shows well on slideshare) TECHNIQUE THREE: story time Personal stories are easier to remember. Put LOTS of them in. TECHNIQUE FOUR: build in tons of audience interaction get your audience to participate (warning: some audiences do not participate)
tip: practice silence instead of llers. (listen for your ums uhs likes you knows and practice replacing them with dramatic silent pauses)
the presentation
normal
normal whoah!
6. atonement + transformation 4. challenges + temptations
you = gandalf/morpheus/dumbledore
the call to adventure = When I am done with you today, you will look at the world in a different way.
dude, no way in hell. = addressing the skeptics. Okay, I can see your puzzled looks...let me share some ideas that may change your mind.
challenges + temptations = examples/case studies/stuff that makes the audience think about how they can apply this new knowledge to their world
the abyss (death + rebirth) = this one is tough. can you challenge your audience to have a eureka moment? can you put them in the ultimate heros position? the death of old beliefs once and for all? this is conversion.
atonement & transformation = this is the part of your talk where people are getting excited to get the heck out of your talk and go preach it to the rest of the world
a new normal = this is not part of your presentation, but you are hoping that this is what your audience is experiencing.
the gigs
Getting paid
When? How? How much? What is the difference (other than the money) questions?
