    7. How to Craft a Pecha Kucha Presentation Think of a cool and exciting topic Try to figure out how you will communicate the message Picture the presentation and information in your mind What does it look like? What do you sound like? How is it processed? What is the main point you want to communicate?

    8. Speaking The average person speaks at a rate of approximately 150 words per minute When a person is nervous, they talk faster Trying to speak off the cuff usually results in several umms and ahhhhs

    9. Listening The average person can listen to and comprehend approximately 300 words per minute This means the audience is listening faster than you are speaking The natural tendency is to speak faster to close the gap

    10. Thinking The average person can think about and comprehend 700 words per minute This means that the audience is mentally wandering while a presenter is speaking By the time I am talking about this bullet, you have finished reading it are are thinking about something completely different Yes you. I am talking to you. Even this is now an old joke, because you probably chuckled to yourself when you read it before I could discus it.

    11. PowerPoint Ventriloquism This occurs when your voice and the slides match You recite every point The audience tunes out quickly You are not engaged with the audience Im not the dummy, hes the dummy

    12. PowerPoint Contradiction This occurs when your slides communicate the opposite of your spoken message Generally happens when a person jumps off script A sign of lack of preparation The audience gets confused and tunes out

    13. The Importance of Balance If people speak slower than people listen, and people listen slower than people think, then you need to give the audience more to think about that is on point Its all about thought control You are either in control or out of control

    14. The Communication Formula Words make up 7% of the message Tone and pitch make up 38% of the message Non-verbal cues make up 55% of the message Why do people get fixated on the words instead of the other 93%?

    15. Words 7% Think of emails that have been misinterpreted Think of use vs utilize People try to use big words to sound smartrely on steak and not sizzle

    16. Tone & Pitch 38% Its not what you say but how you say it Fast may communicate less honesty Slow may communicate less certainty Dont be unnecessarily loud Dont be way too quiet Use pauses and pitch to control the flow

    17. Non-Verbal 55% A picture is worth a thousand words She wears her emotions on her sleeves He has quite the poker face The slides and your body language tell most of the story Dont get in their way

    18. Increase the Common Experience Story of Fat vs Phat Each presentation is relevant if it increases the overlap Think of ways you can make a deeper connection Dont just share information Dont just hog the spotlight Dont just try to teach Its about the sound of conversation

    19. Get Involved Join the next Pecha Kucha Night Monday, September 21, 2009 8:20 PM Starline (Tower District) Theme is UN Make it your own Share with others
