The Secret Sauce for Jazzing Up Your Presentations

Fearless Presentations

We talk a lot in the podcast about ways to reduce nervousness and become a better presenter. However, one of the big parts of making a speech is the ability to create presentations that (1) the audience likes and wants to hear, and (2) are interesting and easy to understand.
On this episode, I'm going to show you the "secret sauce" to designing fun and interesting presentations. This secret will add humor to your speech. It will also help you make technical content way easier for the audience to understand.
Interestingly, the technique is only a secret because so few presenters use these items in their speeches. In fact, the processes are taught in every literature class in the world.
Metaphors, Similes, and Analogies: The Special Sauce for Your Presentation Masterpiece
Metaphors, Similes, and Analogies are your secret weapon when you create presentations. I like to think of myself as a pretty good speaker and writer. I always hated English class in high school and college, though. So, I always got confused between what was a metaphor, what was a simile, and what was an analogy. To me, these parts of speech were so similar that I didn’t really see a lot of difference in them. (Still don’t, by the way.)

However, these often confused parts of speech are the special sauce to really great presentation burgers. If you use them just right, these items will be like adding the perfect piece of jewelry to a formal dress. They will take a speech that is already pretty good and make it exceptional.
