In this episode, you'll learn a five-step process that will lead to effective presentations. The steps apply to simple, informal presentations or high-stakes keynotes. Whatever the context, former actor Jack Hannibal shares how to design and deliver presentations so you can get the results you want.

Resources The Weekly Challenge Jack offers two challenges for the week. The first is to get out and speak as much as possible. The more presentations you do the more comfortable you will be. Look for opportunities through Toastmasters or your local library, take an Improv or acting class, or share a story at an open mic event. The second challenge is to pay attention to the way the people in your life tell stories. Notice what works and what doesn't. See if you can start to notice their underlying structure. Ask yourself, who was the protagonist in that story? What were they after? What obstacles did they overcome? What was the point of the story? In addition, pay attention to the way the storyteller spoke. How did they use their hands and body to enhance or diminish your experience of the story? Look for how the speaker married expositional information (data) with dramatic narrative. Were you able to “see” the situation they told you about or not?
