Recently Duarte Communications generously instructed an elite set of social entrepreneurs* on how to design and deliver a truly great presentation. And on the August 23 when that they all presented their business plans, every single presentation was visually appealing and commanded your interest! Here I’ll share with you my take on just one of Duarte’s nuggets of wisdom and how it can shape a great business plan presentation.
The Nugget
Michael Duarte shared that their research indicated that great presentations have this pattern.
‘Nuf said for you super-intuitive types out there, right?
For those of you who need a bit more spelled out: You grab and keep the audience by taking them through a series of lows and highs. You, the presenter, orchestrate those downs and ups and become their hero by taking them on an interestingly suspenseful and ultimately uplifting, confidence-inspiring journey.
