6/13/23 – The Five Rules for Presentations from Duarte along with Sinek’s thoughts on how to have a great presentation are excellent guidance on what things will set your presentation apart from others (Duarte, 2010; Sinek, 2018). One needs to take the time to add these details and put these directions into practice.
Freytag’s Dramatic story structure resonates with me as a way to form my “call to action” for my PL presentation. An audience usually wants to see the main character come to a resolution in the story, and if they can be a part of this successful ending to a story, it makes the story and the idea behind it even more compelling (Duarte,2010). I want to be able to do that by helping the audience understand my “Why” (Sinek, 2013). If the audience understands my “Why,” then they will be more willing to listen to what we need to do to support this idea and how we can get there. Thus, after listening and viewing my presentation, my hope is that I have created a desire within them to “adopt” my idea and participate in my innovation plan.
