Structure Of A Story
beginning, middle, end vs tension
Wednesday 11 July 12

23. @matuvu
Basically Your Story Needs:
1. a problem
2. a solution
inbeween some crises
and atleast 1 joke
Wednesday 11 July 12

24. @matuvu

It works faster

The Joke Is Essential!
You can drop all the other stuff.
Wednesday 11 July 12

26. @matuvu
On The Jokes
3 ways to integrate jokes:
1. Tell it
2. Integrate it in the slide + talk
3. Only show it in your slide
and have the audience notice it.
Wednesday 11 July 12

27. @matuvu
Connect With The Audience
You you need to make a personal connection
with the audience.
A joke is a good way.
Asking interaction is another.
(Hard in Belgium!)
Add eye contact, don’t read your slides
