This presentation by Garr Reynolds (of Presentation Zen fame) shows how Dr. John Medina' rules on how the brain works should drive our preparation of presentations and workshops.
Rule #1 - Exercise boosts brain power.
So why do we tend to present to people who are sitting down in one of the most passive physical conditions in the world?
Rule #4 - We don't pay attention to boring things. So why do people still design presentations that are slide after slide of bullet points?
Rule #10: Vision triumphs all other senses. And a PowerPoint slide full of words or text doesn't really count here!
I was so inspired by this presentation and the lessons I can learn as a presenter, I bought the book...!
