• On se souvient des histoires mais pas des choses complexes

  • Le cerveau traite les images 60% plus vite que les mots

  • Les histoires sont 20x plus faciles à se rappeler que des informations

  • As you speak, tell what’s going on live (for example, instead of silently searching for your notes, say “I’m looking for my notes”…) so that audience can relate

  • Accidental problems like calling someone “What is written there?” Is a good way to release tension in the audience and make them laugh and catch attention.

  • Having a mini-icebreaker is good in a pitch, like making people raise hand if they know something. It should always be related to the presentation itself. Otherwise no ice-breaker

  • Start a better conversation: ask people “What’s going on today?” And build your conversation based on their problems, their vocabulary… 

  • Say “First, (message)“, “Then, (message)” with the connector word a little louder, so that people follow the articulation of your speech

  • When brainstorming, Start from where you are, not where you want to be - link first order of thinking

  • Don’t be too conscious of yourself

  • Don’t sabotage yourself with words. Take the habit of watching what you’re saying

Good icebreakers :

  • Icebreaker in group is super important : make a circle saying your name + a sign, then do the sign and name of the people before you, and finally add your own
  • Icebreaker 2 : present yourself, and present your favorite movie with emojis only, that others will have to guess

Les étapes pour convaincre avec le UX Storytelling

1. Understand your main protagonists

  1. Put your stakeholders in this matrix :

  2. Then for each protagonist, write some statements this protagonist could make:

I feel… - I love… - I hate… - I need… - I want… - I fear… - I aspire… - I believe… - I claim…

  1. Finally find some example of archetypes similar to your protagonist. (Chief Baron Dominant Strategist CEO Business man Orchestrator…)

2. Find your main message

  1. Clarify (10 minutes)
  2. Simplify (10 minutes) Example of Simplifying:

Launch of the IPHONE in 2007: THEME: Launch of the IPHONE OBJECTIVE: I want my audience…(reaction verb) to like and (action verb) run buy the IPHONE MESSAGE: (repeated several times in the presentation): Today, Apple reinvents the telephone
