How toMemorize

YourPresentation

Nothing erodes your credibility as

a speaker faster than signaling to the audience that

you are dependent on

your slides.

SPEAKING FROM

extremely effectiveMEMORY CAN BE

IF DONE RIGHT

It inspires confidence that you know what you're talking

about and establishes you as

an authority.

MEMORY PALACE

ORMETHOD OF

Loci

Research into brain science has proven that there is a

very deep connection

between the way we remember an

event and the space

in which it occurred

To use the

Method of Loci,

you simply need to visualize a location through which you can take

an imaginary walk perhaps similar to

a route you have memorized on your way to work

Eg. Memorize the names of the U.S. Presidents in order (there are 44).

To get into the car park, I jumped over a washing line (George Washington), where Adam and Eve (John Adams) were playing cricket with Geoffrey Boycott

(Thomas Jefferson). Marilyn Manson (James Madison) was in the IT block getting off with Marilyn Monroe

(James Monroe) etc.

Memory experts recommend that it is easier

to memorize presentations by reviewing your material for 20 minutes and then repeatingthe information twice for 20 minutes each.

If material is not repeated within 30 minutes, it is not encoded into long-term memory

A research shows that sleep enhances the Consolidation of

Recently-Acquired Information in

our memory system

If you rehearse your presentation just before bedtime, you are more likely to Remember the Material more easily

in the morning

Eg. To Recall the process of Managing Question-

Answer Periods, Try CRAM: Concentrate, Repeat, Answer and

Move on

Do not write it in a word-for-word manuscript; rather, make an outline with specific points or thoughts

WHAT IF YOU STILL

forgetSOMETHING

?

Pause and Give Yourself Time to

Remember. But always have

a fall-back exercise

Ask the audience to repeat your last three points. Put them in pairs and have them talk to their partner for one minute about an important point

This gives you

time to Recall

and Recover

and theaudiencewill likely not notice as only you knowthe ideas that you want topresent.
