Johanna’s 60 Seconds of Writing WIP for July 12, 2024

Transcript:
I’m Johanna Rothman, and this is Johanna’s 60 Seconds of Writing WIP for July 12, 2024, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.
This is from the Effective Public Speaking book.
Visuals Support Your Ideas
Visuals are valuable in these ways:
1. You learn how to organize your thoughts for easy audience consumption and engagement.
2. Depending on the visual, the audience has a takeaway: either a copy of your visuals or a handout.
Past presentations can be quite effective for future content marketing.
However, you don't need slides, *per se*. Instead, consider handouts.
For example, when I'm leading a highly interactive or experiential session, I don't use slides. Instead, I use hand-drawn flip charts. I often offer a handout containing either a summary or a bibliography of the session's ideas. Those handouts help people remember my session and bring information back to their offices.
Some speakers use applications, such as Prezi and Miro as handouts or online reference materials. Both applications allow the speaker to zoom in or out or quickly move to another part of the presentation.
That's great for the ability to deliver a non-linear presentation.
However, I have vertigo, so zooming in and out and around literally makes me nauseous. As speakers, we cannot tell how people will feel when we zoom in and out. You get to choose how to use your visuals to support your ideas.
