“I hear, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.”

If you want your presentation to be memorable even after 90 days, I strongly encourage you to INVOLVE YOUR AUDIENCE…. through DOING. Couple of ideas for you to try out.

1. After teaching a concept, get your audience to split into groups. In their groups, discuss a scenario where they can APPLY the concept. Once that is done, have them send a representative to share what was discussed.

2. Before you wrap up a presentation, get your audience to WRITE down five things that they are doing to different based on what you have shared with them. Even better, get them to do one on the spot.

3. Create handouts for your audience and as you deliver your speech, have them FILL UP the blanks with key points or phrases that you want them to remember.

4. If you are going to show them a video, have them JOT DOWN three things they discover which relates to your speech topic.

5. At the end of your speech, get your audience to buddy up and CRYSTALLIZE five things that they have learnt in your speech that will make a difference to their work or life.

And the list goes on.

Bottomline - get your audience into action.

Now here’s one thing I want you to do:

Think back to your last speech/presentation, what could be ONE action that you can get your audience to participate which will help reinforce your points or message?
