Let the Geek Speak!
Agenda
 The Problem
 Why Nerds need to be heard?
 7 ways Geeks sabotage their own presentations
 The Protocols  The MAGIC FACTOR!
Let the Geek Speak!
The Problem
Who	makes	and	supports	this	stuff?
Let the Geek Speak!
The Problem I want to solve!
 Technical people that make and support
given products or services seem to be…
– Paid less than the Sales people
– Recognised less than the Sales people
– Rewarded less than the Sales people
 In short, I want to help Geeks to be more, do
more and therefore have more…SUCCESS!
Let the Geek Speak!
Why Nerds need to be heard!
 A conference like this is great, BUT…
 Presentations to a less technical audience
include:
– Job interviews
– Showing your non-tech colleagues what you do
– Sales presentations
– Attracting funding
Let the Geek Speak!
Geeks that can Speak
…are	more	successful	in	many	areas	of	life!

–  Audience members will
have their own
preferences

Cycle for learning to take place
Prepare: The Learning Cycle

– Obstruct…
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS1: Too TECH focused!
 People don’t care how much you know…
 Until they know how you care...
ABOUT THEM!
 Your audience are all tuned in to one station
W-IIFM (What’s In It For Me)!
 Idea! Come up at least one technical level
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS2: No Proper Planning
 The FBI 6 Ps
Proper Planning Prevents Particularly Poor
Performance!
 Idea! Consider
–  Content  Structure
–  The keys to memory
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS3: lastminute.com
 Imagine if you were on trial…
 Failure to prepare is to prepare for failure!
 If a presentation is worth giving, it is worth
properly preparing for…
 There are many dimensions to good preparation
 Idea! Walk in your audiences’ shoes
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS4: Beta Trial!
 Amateurs practise until they get it right…
Professionals practice until they can’t get it
wrong!
 Geeks are happy to test their software or
hardware…
Why don’t they test their presentations
 Idea! Practice out loud
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS5: Leaving out the…
 Participation is crucial for engagement
 It can take many forms
–  Questions (combined with good eye contact)
–  Showing of hands
–  Involvement in demonstrations
–  Stories and shared experiences
 Idea! Brainstorm participation methods
Audience!!!
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS6: Apathy
EnthusIASM
–  I Am Sold Myself!
 Attitudes are catching
 Deal with nerves
–  Uneasy makes uneasy
 Pitch, Pace, Pauses
 Idea! Check yourself!!!
Let the Geek Speak!
GPS7: Failure to Follow Up
 What did participants think of the presentation?
 Was the required learning achieved?
–  Measured immediately after the event
–  Measured sometime after the event
 Are more presentations required?
–  Audience/Subject Matter
 Idea! Schedule follow-up at the start!
