Overview
- At the beginning of the year, the underclassman explored what leadership looks like through a foil paper challenge.
- They imagined leaders wearing capes, with followers walking behind — strong, bold, and out front.
- These were a powerful images, but today we want to offer a new perspective to the underclassman.

Thank you
When you give a boring presentation, you only hear the snores of your audience and there's so much text that there's no room for even a single image.
we are social beings
A great presentation is clear and structured to convey information in an organized and hierarchical way, and to successfully deliver exciting content to the brain. Animation and interactivity are two fundamental pillars for this purpose. Tags, windows, links, audios... With Genially, you can include any type of interactivity to add additional content and give it an animation to capture the attention of your audience.
Did you know that Genially allows you to share your creation directly, without the need for downloads?Ready for your audience to view it on any device and promote it anywhere.
we are narrative beings
Need more reasons to create dynamic content?
When carrying out a presentation, you should pursue two objectives: conveying information and avoiding yawns. For this, it may be a good practice to create an outline and use words that will be etched into the brains of your audience. If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral presentation. We recommend that you train your voice and rehearse: the best improvisation is always themost worked!
- Help break the monotony
- Illustrate what you want to convey
- They are a support to add additional info
use charts in your presentation
90% of the information we assimilate comes through sight.
Statistics convey professionalism and a greater sense of truthfulness. A plus: always try to include the source.
Use this space to briefly describe your chart and its evolution. Represent your data in the simplest way: choose your chart, organize the figures, and paste them into Genially.
A presentation is NOT WOW when it's boring and you see the drowsiness taking over your audience because no one has understood anything.
We are visual beings
Need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes to us through sight, and we retain 42% more information when the content moves. What you read: interactivity and animation can make the most boring content turn into something fun.
- Plan the structure of your communication.
- Prioritize and give visual weight to the main points.
- Define secondary messages with interactivity.
- Establish a flow through the content.
- Measure the results.
We are digital beings
90% of the information we process comes through our vision, and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That's why visual communication is more effective.
We better perceive visual content. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. Things come through the eyes, the first image is what matters. We associate visual contentwith emotions.
Do it your way, but use this space to include a quote, highlight a relevant fact, or emphasize a specific idea you want to underscore.
Use images in your presentation
Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even fromother cultures. We perceive visual content better. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. Things enter through the eyes, the first image is the one that counts. We associate visual content with emotions. Our brain is prepared, from a biological point of view, to process visual content. Almost 50% of our brain is involved in processing visual stimuli.
When you make a WOW presentation turn interactivity and animation into allies and only hear applause.
