Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em

I’ve just been doing some web-research for videos of good (or even excellent) presentations.  Sadly they’re few and far between.  In the process I came across this page which has a collection of vids you can watch.  They’re not bad - well, the one on swearing is so bad I couldn’t get past the first couple of minutes - but the others are okay.

One thing stood out for me though - a new version of how to structure your presentation.

Instead of

  • Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em
  • Tell ‘em
  • Tell ‘em what you’ve told ‘em.

He suggested most speakers have

  • Tell ‘em how you’re going to bore ‘em
  • Bore ‘em
  • Tell ‘em how you bored ‘em.

The man has a point!  :)
