🎨 How to create presentations that deliver twice the impact in half the time

One of my favourite speakers of all time is Rory Sutherland. I could listen to him for hours - interesting, funny, creative; everything that comes out of his mouth is golden. Why? Because he adopts this one, simple habit…

If Rory had a presenting superpower, it would be his ability to pluck extraordinary stories and insights out of nowhere and captivate his audiences.

Or so his delivery style would have you believe…

In fact, one of these stories took him from being considered a subject matter expert like many of you into one of the most sought-after speakers in the world 🗺️.

At TED 2009, he shared this 58-second observation about the London to Paris train 🚄…

Relatable, unexpected and funny…

It’s been a trusted ‘set piece’ that he has used in his podcast interviews and conference talks ever since; stored in his content palette so he can pull it out whenever it’s needed.

[I’ve no idea where Rory keeps his, but I keep mine in the notes section of my phone and it works perfectly 📱.']

But where a content palette really comes into it’s own is when you use it to store your untested talk ideas too.
