one idea

one perspective

one contribution

one discovery

You are building an idea in the mind of the audience

Think what matters to you and why it matters for others

What is your unique perspective?

You start around a skeleton, you build on top

You can easily structure your talk on paper

Every item tends to fit in an order

You can spot the climax and the transitions between sections

Demo

Sections help the audience follow your logic/flow

Transitions give you an opportunity to emphasize

Every part should matter, kill whatever doesn't work

Follow-up your ideas, offer cyclicality, focus on key point

Who is in the audience?

What is the general target of the event?

Who else is talking at the event?

Your goal is not to look smarter!

Dumb down your ideas / presentation

Imagine yourself in the audience

Simple constructions, plain english

Don't use technical slang unless you explain it

Swearing on stage? It depends

Only if it's you and if you naturally do it

Don't have any expectations about the audience

Don't be offensive!

Your content should be addressed at the audience

Start simple, build on top of that

Use natural language and humor, be yourself :)

Idea

Inspiration

Your story differentiates your talk from others

Stories make your ideas more relatable

You can insert a story at any time in your talk

Create a structure around the idea

Connect your idea to a story (get creative)
