#23: How to Give a Memorable and Impactful Presentation: Goals


Listen Later

How many presentations have you attended where you felt sleepy and struggled to keep yourself awake?

Inevitably, especially if you’re in the medical field, you will have to give a formal presentation to an audience. 

We all want to do an admirable job and want our message to be heard, felt and remembered. At the end of the presentation we at least do not want to look incompetent and at our best have made a difference whereby the audience is moved to action. 

Some people do a great job and some don’t, but the reality is that giving a presentation that will has an impact is a learnable skill. The mistakes can easily be mitigated because great presenter know the key strategies to deliver their message. Great presenters are made and NOT born.  

This podcast originated as a result of people asking me “what is my approach to giving a talk that will be remembered?” My experience as an Illusionist/performer has given me an edge in addressing this question and I’ve shared those tips throughout the years. I’m glad they’ve found the tips valuable and recently I’ve had to explain these tips again at several conferences that I’ve recently spoken at. 

This particular episode is a quick- win short podcast that helps you understand how to define the goal of your presentation. There are only three, but it’s really important to define them well. You don’t want to be the presenter where people are whispering “What was this talk about anyway? I wish s/he had been clearer.”

Welcome to The Introverted Doctor, the podcast that uncovers myths, mistakes, and misconceptions that hold healthcare professionals back from living their best life at work, home, and play.
