Lessons from childhood

I came across some research recently that got me thinking. Over half the respondents who attended a presentation preferred receiving the presentation as a PDF as a follow up resource. Why is this? Are we that busy? Are our brains so overloaded with information that we can’t remember what we were told the day before? Or is it because the presentation wasn’t that memorable?

We are hit with thousands of different messages every day and only remember a few. This is why it is so important to make your presentations memorable, interesting and compelling. One way to do this is to take a lesson from our childhood.

How many great stories do you remember and how simple were they – “Hungry Caterpillar”, “Green Eggs and Ham”? They had few words, interesting pictures and an uncomplicated structure. If you want people to remember your message, try creating visually engaging stories that people can relate to and follow.
