- The “333 Rule” A rebel knows how to prepare for a presentation. He or she lives and dies by something I like to call the “333 Rule.” This concept is simple and is the hallmark of a captivating and memorable presentation. 3 goals: Remember the lesson from Aristotle. Build trust. Win people. Deliver results. 3 stages: Every presentation has a strong beginning, middle, and end. In other words, it has a powerful introduction, body, and conclusion. 3 points: Before you pick-up a writing utensil to start your presentation outline, define the three takeaways do you want to leave with your audience. Three points. No more, no less. 333. Simple, isn’t it? It’s the rebel way. factual: Show statistics, graphs, charts – anything to help solidify that you know what you are discussing. Credibility comes tual: tual: Show statistics, graphs, charts – anything to help solidify that you know what you are discussing. Credibility comes instantly when your audience perceives you as an expert. Present your facts but proceed with caution – there is a gray line between presenting too much and too little information. Say too much and eyes will glaze over. Say too little and people will think you are a poser.Be Giving: Life is about contribution. It’s about sharing with the masses. A great presenter equips his or her listeners with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to help them grow. People want to walk away with something of value. Provide them with something that either motivates, changes, or improves their life. Feast On ItMost presentations today are easy to forget. The key objective with delivery is to create memorable presentations. Thus, if there is only one thing you remember about delivery, remember this concept. It is called the Chow Technique. Try this method the next time you speak in public. It will increase memory and retention levels. A great presentation is like a fabulous three course meal. In other words, it is like great chow. Think of your favorite restaurant. What did you eat? Perhaps some filet mignon, risotto, or maybe you enjoyed a nice glass of chardonnay. No matter what it was, I’m sure it was delicious. A great presentation is laid out the same way. Starter: A captivating presentation has a strong open. Maybe it’s a story. Perhaps it is simply asking a question. Whatever it may be, it needs to be captivating. The Main Course: Your entrée (body) needs to be flavorful and engaging. It should also be simple, and easy to digest. Dessert: Your ending needs to be as strong as your open. There is an old saying amongst actors: “By their entrances and their exits shall ye know them.” End strong or you risk losing credibility.
