Micro-Presentations: Tighten Your Talk for Maximum Impact
You have a message you want to get out to the world. You use (or want to use) speaking to promote your cause or movement. You need to build visibility, credibility and awareness for your issue. But your audience has minimal time and short attention spans.
What would it be like if you could powerfully influence your audience to shift their thoughts, attitudes and behaviors in five minutes or less? Whether you’re pitching an idea, engaging with legislators, presenting over Zoom, or speaking on a panel, you’re being asked to deliver your message in shorter and shorter time frames. In this session, Lisa will show you exactly how to leverage the "power of five" (minutes!) to create a concise, crisp and compelling presentation when your speaking slot is tight. Inspire your participants to take action without brain-dumping, fire-hosing, or stealing their precious time.
Key Takeaways
- Design a clear and concise journey that your audience can easily navigate
- Carefully plan interactions and timing
- Apply a variety of engagement tools to your micro-presentations
- Develop proper pacing and build-in white space
Inspire your audiences to take action
