I’m often asked what are the best ways to present and convince. Though a presentation might not be the same as a masterful story told, I think there are some similar themes at play. I’ve always respected the work of the moth and thought this was a particularly good break down.

My favorite themes
Details – Showcase them, tell them, don’t leave them out
Honesty – People can smell a lie
Vulnerability – No man is impenetrable, showcase the flaws
Natural Delivery – Rehearse but don’t memorize
