G is for Ginormous: Presentation Lessons from the Incredible Hulk
H is for Huge
Think big when it comes to your next presentation! You don’t need to turn yourself into the Incredible Hulk to catch people’s attention (although that wouldn’t hurt), but you should aim to be bigger than life. Dare to let your alter-ego take over for your next presentation. Just try not to terrify your audience.
U is for Unusually Sensitive
Unfortunately for Dr. Banner, his gamma ray experiment made him a little too sensitive to anger. Although nothing will make your audience members morph into green humanoid monsters, think about how your presentation appeals to the senses. Most presentations target only two: sight and sound. Boring. Since people take in the world through five senses, they are more likely to remember a presentation that speaks to all of them. Audio and visual stimulation are easy enough to accomplish, so think about how to make your audience members exercise their senses of smell, touch and taste. You don’t necessarily need to put out a box of donuts and ask your audience to relate them to your presentation subject. Stimulating these senses can be as easy as just referencing words that bring them to mind. Comparing your new line of sweaters to a bag of Skittles gets the point across in a tangy way that it’s colorful.
