What are some suggestions for using storytelling elements to make presentations more unforgettable?

Storytelling elements can make presentations more memorable by engaging the audience's emotions and facilitating understanding. Here are some suggestions:

1. Use a clear structure: Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. Similarly, your presentation should have an introduction, main body, and conclusion.

2. Incorporate characters: Characters make the story relatable. In a business context, these could be customers, employees, or stakeholders.

3. Include conflict and resolution: Challenges and their solutions keep the audience engaged. In a presentation, this could be a business problem and its innovative solution.

4. Use visuals: As per the pictorial superiority theory, information paired with images is more likely to be remembered. Use relevant visuals to reinforce your points.

5. Make it personal: Personal stories can create an emotional connection with the audience, making your presentation more impactful.

Question was asked on:

Information that's delivered with images is more likely to be remembered due to a theory known as "pictorial superiority." According to molecular biologist John Medina, if you learn a piece of information paired with an image, you'll still remember 65% of it three days later. For instance, you might use this slide as a visually impactful way to open a Corporate Identity deck that impresses key stakeholders, new recruits, or prospective clients. (Slide 1)
