Ignited - El Camp
Had the pleasure of being at 'El Camp' for our final agency visit for the term! I am in awe that such a place even exists, which simply provides a venue to foster creative thinking that can trigger great outcomes! It was great to meet Eric Johnson, the founder of Ignited USA, who played a vital role in supporting M-School in it's initial years.
We were at El Camp to finalize on our final presentation outlines and learn some valuable presentation skills!
A valuable tip to remember would be:
- Tell the audience what you're going to tell them in the beginning of the presentation.
- Tell them.
- Remind them what you told them at the end of the presentation.
There! Simple enough. People have short attention spans and get bored easily - it is essential to remind them and keep them engaged without being redundant.
Other tips to remember would be:
- Unexpected Openings
- Effortless transitions between speakers
- Pacing - not too fast, not too slow
- E-N-U-N-C-I-A-T-E
Confidence is critical and you need to identify your style! But don't worry, if you don't have one 'Fake it, till you become it'! - And that's my best take-away.
