Ep. 196 Unforgettable Preparation

“So many presenters mistake memorization for preparation” says Darren, as he and Mark reveal some powerful principles for preparing and delivering unforgettable presentations. SNIPPETS: • Don’t memorize; internalize • Avoid rehearsing just to remember the words; rehearse to remember the idea • Use STAGEOLOGY to anchor your ideas to specific places on stage • Give your audience and idea, principle, technique, habit, tip or action item • Deliberately rehearse with loud noises in the room • It’s not ‘if’, but ‘when’ you will encounter unexpected distractions • Learn from the ways that comedians handle hecklers • Prepare your presentation in chunks and rehearse them out of sequence
