Wednesday 11 July 12
Basically Your Story Needs:

inbeween some crises and atleast 1 joke

The Joke Is Essential!
@matuvu
You can drop all the other stuff.

On The Jokes
@matuvu
3 ways to integrate jokes:
1. Tell it2. Integrate it in the slide + talk
3. Only show it in your slide and have the audience notice it.
Wednesday 11 July 12
Connect With The Audience
@matuvu
You you need to make a personal connection with the audience.
A joke is a good way.Asking interaction is another.
(Hard in Belgium!)
Add eye contact, don’t read your slides

@matuvu
