Business Video Booster 2: Miss Zero Bullet Points
And when it comes to presentations, you will not want to miss the brilliant advice of one the leading experts on the subject, Melissa Marshall. In this TED talk, she brings a message to all scientists from the rest of us non-scientists. She tells them, "we're fascinated by what you're doing... (but please) tell us about it -- in a way we can understand." In just 4 minutes, she shares powerful tips on presenting complex scientific ideas to a general audience in easy tips.
But as many in business know, sometimes even if we are not scientists, we also present information is a way that is unnecessarily complicated.
After doing the activity you will be able to actively use and explain the following concepts in English:
- wonderland
- bullet points
- overwhelmed
- nerdy
