Why Does Presenting
Have To Be That Hard?
It Doesn’t!
Consultants like
to make it difficult..

…so it can be
expensive.
The truth is there are
just a few basics to
build on.
You don’t need
to be a
Psychologist.
Just remember
“hear and I forget..
see and I remember..
do and I understand.”
You don’t need
to be a Neurologist.
Just remember
the brain responds
well to changes in
delivery, style and
information.
You don’t
need
to be a
graphic
designer.
Just remember
a single, simple image
makes a very
profound statement.
You don’t
need
to be a
wordsmith.
Just remember
the fewer words
the better.
Finally…
remember it is not about you!
It is
about them!!!
Remember E I E
