Any lion tamer will have three tools to control their majestic beast: a whip, a stool, and a fistful of enticing snacks. Which of these tools is most useful?

But Which Is The Most Useful In Keeping
The Lion At Bay?

3. The
Stool
IT IS NOT
THE WHIP!
Most might say the
whip is the obvious
answer, but they’d
be wrong.
The lion sees all
four stool legs and
doesn’t know which
one to focus on.
The lion is rendered
frozen, enabling the
tamer to keep them
under control.
We Humans Are Not Impervious To This
Same Manipulation

4. Focus
When we try to focus on
too many things at once,
we become incapable of
giving proper attention to
any one of them.
Lack of focus impairs your ability to
lead and stick to your plan,
especially during a presentation
How Do We Avoid This?

5. Set
Goals
WHATare you doing?
HOWare you doing it?
WHYare you doing it?
This Is Integral To Remaining Focused, No Matter
What You’re Doing

6. Quote
“ That’s been one of my
mantras - focus and simplicity.
Simple can be harder than
complex: You have to work
hard to get your thinking
clean to make it simple. But
it’s worth it in the end
because once you get there,
you can move mountains.”
- Steve Jobs

7. Get
Your
Priorities
Straight
Keeping your long-term
goals in mind is a great
way to start any project.
Present the priorities and goals of
every presentation as clearly as you
can to your audience.
The More Your Audience Understands Your Message,
The More Comfortable They’ll Feel With You
