Great presentations start with the key message
It may sound like weird advice, but a great presentation actually starts with the end. The end of a talk usually is the conclusion or take-home message. By sharing that part already at the start, you are able to create a comprehensible narrative for your audience. In this episode, you will experience the difference it makes. Additionally, you will acquire a specific technique for crafting an effective opening, which can be applied to written communication as well. Not only does this method enhance comprehensibility and logical flow, but it also streamlines the preparation process, ultimately saving you valuable time when preparing a talk.

Begin with the end in mind
Before crafting your talk or writing, consider two questions first: What is there to gain for you? What is there to gain for your audience? There are multiple ways to think about this. Doing so will serve as a great guideline for you in designing your communication to achieve the desired results. Even taking just a few minutes to contemplate this will have a significant impact!
