I could feel my pulse finally slowing down.
2
All day my heart had been thumping with anticipation.
3
But the moment I'd been dreading was finally over.
4
After weeks of intense preparation, I had just delivered my final presentation, in my freshman year business communications class.
5
I was thrilled with my performance.
6
"Leaving the class, I was on such a high.
7
I knew that I had nailed it and that I probably left every one of my classmates filled with inspiration.
8
The next day, I ran into one of my peers who was in the class the day before.
9
We got to talking about our final presentations and In one quick sentence, she absolutely crushed me.
10
She asked me.
11
So are you excited to get yours over with next week?
12
I was devastated.
13
That presentation that I had been feeling so good about yesterday hadn't even left a dent in her memory.
14
Thank you.
15
After all that work, I was completely forgotten.
16
That day I learned an important lesson.
17
With all the things that our audiences hear and are exposed to on a daily basis, It's very easy for what you say to be forgotten.
18
But fortunately, since then, I've also learned that It's just as easy to be memorable.
19
Of course, Being memorable feels good on the old ego.
20
but it's also critical to make sure that your content stays top of mind amongst all of today's distractions.
21
Particularly in the business world, people are inundated with presentations and pitches.
22
Each of us, after we graduate, will probably hear at least one presentation per day.
23
And for those of us who are aspiring entrepreneurs, At the top VCs see at least 50 presentations per week.
24
With all those presentations competing for your audience's attention, it's important to stand out.
25
But standing out alone isn't enough.
26
According to a Yale study, 20 minutes after a presentation, The audience only remembered about 60 % of the presenters' content.
27
After half a day, that number dropped to 40%.
28
And after just one week, audience members remembered only about 10 % of what was said to them just a week before.
29
The tips we'll give you today will help make sure that your presentation isn't one of the ones that's forgotten.
30
By using the few tips that we outlined today, you'll find that it's easy to be memorable.
31
Aiden, that introduction itself showed me how to be memorable.
32
Your storytelling caught my attention and honestly, I felt surprised when it took a turn.
33
This is a great segue into our first tactic.
34
Shock the audience.
35
Let's start by watching the beginning of Pablo Zapata's "Locino," during which he tells a story of an incredible dive he experienced.
36
This could be the dive I've always dreamed of.
37
As I descended, I was surrounded by over 70 sharks from different species.
38
We reached the sandy floor and from the semicircle.
39
My mom.
40
was to my left.
41
I started shooting away.
42
My favorite.
43
A beautiful lemon shark arrived.
44
Finally, 20 minutes into the dive.
45
the thing I've been waiting for. to massive Tiger sharks.
46
One of them, measuring over 15 feeding length.
47
They started circling the group and getting close.
48
Very close.
49
As the larger of the two sharks, Swamp past me.
50
Amen.
51
heading towards my mom.
52
I saw its eye turn white.
53
Something they do.
54
right before biting.
55
The shark suddenly turned and smacked me with its tail.
56
I lost my balance, but as soon as I regained it, I click the shutter.
57
and saw the scariest image I've ever taken.
58
The shark.
59
took a bite at my mom.
60
Pablo goes on to talk about his love of the ocean
61
and to promote ocean conservatism and how the ocean should be a sustainable food source.
62
But what a way to start and capture the audience's attention.
63
Thank you.
64
Pablo used twists and turns in a story and used stunning, frankly scary visuals, especially to someone who is deathly afraid of sharks like I am.
65
These are both great tactics to shock the audience, especially from the get -go.
66
We all know from experience how critical the first 30 seconds of a presentation can be.
67
Other great tactics to shock the audience are the use of props, like Roberto during his presentation,
68
sensory effects like a loud noise, or a surprising statistic.
69
For example, in his presentation of the original iPod, Steve Jobs used the statistic "1000 songs in your pocket" to shock the audience.
70
This statistic was so powerful that it went on to become the iPod's tagline.
71
Why is it so important to shock the audience?
72
Oftentimes, we don't come to a presentation with our listening caps on.
73
we know what the situation is.
74
We're distracted or tired from everything that life's thrown our way.
75
And the last thing we're ready to do is engage with the presentation.
76
But that's why it's critical to shock the audience.
77
It's easy to be memorable if you shock the audience.
78
And once your audience has recovered from the shock, How do you sustain attention?
79
One trick we've learned on that front is to show, don't tell.
80
Thank you to avoid making ourselves into complete hypocrites.
81
Let us show you what we mean with two examples.
82
Take a moment to feel the difference in imagery, experience, and emotion that comes from hearing two versions of the same reality.
83
one.
84
Michael is struggling with some serious Zoom fatigue.
85
two.
86
As the professor started speaking, All Michael could hear was the silent scream of his pounding headache.
87
He had only spent three hours on Zoom that day, but his eyes and brain had decided to give up.
88
The first example is factual and to the point.
89
While you were listening, you probably understood that yes, Michael, like many of us, is indeed feeling some Zoom fatigue.
90
The second example, however, pulled you into Michael's shoes.
91
You felt his pounding headache, perhaps literally and figuratively, and his sense of resignation at his fate.
92
And if you didn't feel a little more pulled in by that example, Wow.
93
You might be a sociopath.
94
For our second example, let's watch a former GSB -er giving a low key note about how to manage anxiety.
95
One second, one second.
96
So how about we handle this situation like a pro? And pause.
97
Reframe.
98
Maybe spilling juice all over myself makes this more entertaining for you and there'll be more views
99
and own I'm not feeling what I'm feeling right now because I spilled juice over myself.
100
It's because I had an expectation internally that this talk will fall asleep. for managing anxiety.
101
Pause reframe and own, Polkett shocked the audience into attention and brought his advice to life in the most realistic way possible.
102
by handling it like a pro.
103
So the next time you're working through a presentation, Think about Michael and Paul K.
104
When you're trying to communicate a data point or a fact, How might you use story to bring it to life?
105
When you're giving a recommendation or a piece of advice, Could you find a way to demonstrate it to your audience?
106
As Pilkitt showed us, it could be as easy as finding a red drink to spill on your white shirt.
107
It's easy to be memorable if you show, don't tell.
108
it's easy to be memorable.
109
Show me with your fingers how many times did you hear this phrase today?
110
Twice, three times.
111
Someone's saying seven.
112
And you still hear this a couple more times, because that's the mantra of our presentation.
113
Soundbites that we're emphasizing over and over for you to associate it with the delivery.
114
Mantras and soundbites are some of the easiest ways to remember any type of historical moment.
115
In fact, Let's go back in time for a bit.
116
What's the first thing that comes to mind if I ask you about the moon landing?
117
That's one small step for men.
118
one giant leap for mankind.
119
What if I asked you about Obama?
120
even the most passionate Republican will think, Yes, we can.
121
Does it work with presentations?
122
Steve Jobs iPhone launch.
123
reinvent the phone.
124
For my international friends, Is it a US only thing?
125
No, in Brazil, every single person knows that on the event of brazil's independence from portugal The emperor said,
126
independence, or death.
127
But these sidewives and mantras didn't just come to their minds in the middle of these historical moments.
128
They're carefully crafted and prepared beforehand.
129
Armed with your message, there are three ways to stick it into your audience's memories.
130
Number one, Repeat the phrase.
131
over and over.
132
Number two.
133
punctuated.
134
with a boss.
135
that gives them time to process and write it down.
136
Number three, Project the words in the slide.
137
Thank you.
138
This creates visual stimulus for their memories.
139
Remember, It's easy.
140
to be memorable.
141
Thank you.
142
Finally, Here are some rhetorical devices that will help you assemble an unforgettable mantra.
143
Number one, imitate a famous phrase.
144
So for example, the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
145
could become never give a presentation, you wouldn't want to sit through yourself.
146

165
Lincoln on his famous Gettysburg Address.
166
It's easy to be memorable if you have a mantra.
167
Thinking back to my final presentation all those years ago, I can now see that it was totally forgettable.
168
I didn't shock the audience.
169
I definitely told rather than showing.
170
And I didn't have a mantra.
171
No wonder my talk didn't stand out among a huge roster of final presentations.
172
Maybe you've also given a presentation that no one remembered.
173
Or maybe you've been in a popcorn -style team check -in where you were called on twice
174
because no one remembered you already gave your update.
175
No matter what the scenario, these tips can help you to be more memorable.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | was thrilled · was devastated · are exposed |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | I've also learned · I've always dreamed · I've ever taken |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 35 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे didn't, don't, I've। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: deathly /ˈdɛθli/, sociopath /ˈsəʊ.si.ə(ʊ)ˌpæθ/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: foolishness /ˈfuːlɪʃnəs/, perish /ˈpɛɹɪʃ/, shutter /ˈʃʌtəː/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/, distraction /dɪsˈtɹæk.ʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: conservatism /kənˈsɜːvətɪzəm/, rhetorical /ɹɪˈtɔɹɪkəl/, sociopath /ˈsəʊ.si.ə(ʊ)ˌpæθ/, unforgettable /ˌʌnfə(ɹ)ˈɡɛtəbəl/, devastated /ˈdɛv.əˌsteɪ.təd/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: conservatism /kənˈsɜːvətɪzəm/, reinvent /ɹiːɪnˈvɛnt/, devastated /ˈdɛv.əˌsteɪ.təd/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: pause /pɔːz/, conservatism /kənˈsɜːvətɪzəm/, oftentimes /ˈɔf.ənˌtaɪmz/, emphasize /ˈɛm.fə.saɪz/, presenter /pɹɪˈzɛntə(ɹ)/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: spill /spɪl/, smack /smæk/, stimulus /ˈstɪm.jə.ləs/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर memorable, mantra, spill जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
