Last point. When you give a presentation you tell a story. It is too short to tell a story with elements of the HERO’s journey.
A presentation is a short story.
The best stories have elements of the Hero’s journey. Look that up if you have to give a longer presentation.
The Hero’s journey is a mental map. It triggers emotions within the audience’s mind. It has been passed from generations to generations for ages in all cultures.
So people in an audience expect to see elements of the Hero’s journey in each presentation.
Let me give you an example:
A hero, was not awake, finds a mentor, goes through a deep low, fights back, learns a lesson and come back to his tribe. With the lessons learned. And dies.
Emotions emotions. The audience feels her pain. The Female warrior.
So the audience bonds with her. The hero’s journey goes right through the audience’s heart. It is a golden arrow that goes right through the heart. The place where the emotions are born.
In your presentation there is no hero, there is no struggle, there is no fighting, no low, no highs, no tribe, no lesson. In this short post I will create a hero for you. One you won’t think of. You want to continue this short story and find out who the hero is?
Without a hero there us no story. There is no cause. Nothing to fight for. No life.
People will not relate to your cause. They are looking for the hero. They see you and they think is he the hero?
They don’t bond with your cause.
It is difficult to create a hero this fast for you tomorrow.
Without a hero, a struggle the presentation is flat. No emotions are triggered.
My best advise:
The audience us the hero!!!
They have a stuggle. Their time and attention is held in other social media. They don’t get paid for their time!!!
That is their struggle.
They will hear all these objections. So they keep asleep.
Don’t go to stacker.news. Neo stay asleep.
YOU are the mentor. This presentation is the enticing moment. The white rabbit moment in the Matrix. Follow the white rabbit.
You basically tell them…. I the mentor bring you the bad news. Stay asleep. Listen to all these objections. Don’t go to stacker.news.
And then they wake up… why is he telling me this….
To make this plot work you can say…
At the beginning….you are on your social media. Nostr, everywhere.
You hear stacker.news, another thing…
I’m going to tell you:Dont do it. Just like everybody will tell you. Actually I have paid my community to tell me all reasons why somebody should NOT come to us!!
You see when you have a special place and a gem you want to keep it to yourself…..
Here are your reasons not to do it….
And then you end: it is a special place. For special people only. Don’t do it.
Maybe their journey will then start…..
