Visual communication is a key tool. We find it easier to 'read' images than to read written text. That's why disciplines like Visual Thinking facilitate visually-rich note-taking through the use of images, charts, infographics, and simple drawings.

Showing enthusiasm, flashing a smile, and maintaining eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when it comes to telling stories that provoke excitement and capture the interest of the public: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. This will help you make a 'match' with your audience. Leave them open-mouthed!

Audio ••
Your content is engaging if it is interactive
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 a single image.
A presentation is NOT WOW when it is boring and you see that drowsiness takes over your audience because no one has understood anything.
When you make a WOW presentation, you turn interactivity and animation into allies and only hear applause.
