When giving a presentation, you need to go after two main objectives: to convey information and avoid yawns. To do this, it can be good practice to make an outline and use words that will be imprinted in the memories of your audience. If you want to add additional information or develop the content in detail, you can do this with your verbal presentation. We recommend training your voice and rehearsing; the best improvisation happens when you’re prepared!

Our brains are hardwired to consume visual content. Some facts: we receive 90% of the information we process through sight and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That’s why visual communication is more effective. We generally grasp visual content better. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. We receive things through our eyes; the first image is what counts. We associate visual content with emotions.

14

Our brain unconsciously processes about 11 million units of visual information per second, while it only processes about 50 units of conscious information per second. 90% of the information we assimilate is received through sight.

We are in the age of the explosion of digital information. As a result, the way we obtain information has changed from traditional reading to a cognitive strategy based on navigation. When you tell us a story, it excites us, and can even move us, which means that we remember stories up to 20 times more than any other content we consume.

20

Storytelling is the art of telling stories. People have a natural predisposition to consume them. Did you know that ⅔ of our daily conversations are stories? We remember stories up to 20 times more than any other type of content. According to neuroscience, when we listen to a story, our brain lights up like a Christmas tree. Stories stimulate the same cerebral areas that are activated by reading, and on top of that, activate our auditory, visual, sensory, motor, and even olfactory cortices. We hear information, but we feel stories. This emotion is what maximizes concept retention.

21

Have you ever thought about what makes a content created in Genially stand out from the rest? Without a doubt, interactivity and animation are the two main reasons. This is how you will get your audience's attention, by showing the most important information first and getting their attention with interactive and animated elements. Yep, you read that right.

In Genially, we use AI (Awesome interactivity) in all our designs so that you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that engages and provides value.

Communicating in the same old ways is boring and doesn’t engage people. We do it differently. We annihilate boredom. We create things the brain likes to consume because they stimulate it.
