Editor's Notes
- Why do you need to tell this particular story
- Most important yet underrated skill Isn’t taught in school Realized over my career Main credential or why I became a passionate protagonist
- Majority of people create 1 presentation per week
- People want to know practical examples to apply in their roles At 8mins
- Let’s not overemphasize on data because there are 2 more elements
- How many times you had a situation where the stakeholder reached out
- “If you torture the data long enough, it will tell you anything!” -John W. Tukey The correlation is a fact, but it doesn’t imply causation
- New York covid example
- Where I have seen people struggle the most Very tempting to share every single information MAKE THE VILLAIN APPEAR
- This is where it gets really meta
- It’s tempting to let the data lead the way People feel more confident with concrete data in hand But we’re emotional beings
- The only text heavy slide, so let’s spend some time here Presentations aren’t always needed, we overuse them MAKE THE VILLAIN APPEAR
- Goal of the story – inform/explain, persuade/convince, what do you want people to do differently
- Remember that the purpose of visuals is to make a point, or add visual interest to your points as you voice over the slides MAKE THE VILLAIN APPEAR
- Only acceptable use of pie charts
- At 18mins
- “The first time I saw the Climate Clock, it woke something up inside me — and that’s after 30 years of being in this movement.” —Jerome Ringo, Climate Clock Global Ambassador
- Let’s go on this journey together to become better storytellers At 23mins
