About this presentation
xii, 260 pages : 18 x 19 cm A visual guide to making extraordinary presentations by the acclaimed author of The Back of the Napkin We are all natural born presenters. We have ideas to share, voices to share them, and people to share them with. So why do most of us find public speaking so hard? In this pithy but powerful guide, communication expert Dan Roam provides a simple five-step path to take us from jitters and complexity to confidence and clarity. He explains his tried-and-true visual techniques and the wisdom he has gained from giving award-winning presentations. Roam shows us how to: - Clearly present any idea with simple visuals - Know our audience before we step in front of them - Channel fear into fun Roam's lively visual style, hand-drawn pictures, and vivid text will help regular people overcome anxiety and make brilliant presentations Includes bibliographical references (page 260) The three rules -- Rule 1: tell the truth -- Rule 2: tell it with a story -- Rule 3: tell the story with pictures -- How not to worry -- The gift
How to study this deck
History decks compress causes, events, and consequences into bullet points. To use them well, expand each bullet back into the question it answers ("why now?", "why here?", "who benefited?") before memorizing the answer.
Undergraduate viewers should treat this as a scaffolding for deeper reading — the slides outline the territory, but the textbook chapters and primary sources remain the actual content.
Five questions to test your understanding
- What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
- Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
- Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
- What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
- Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
