Pain-free script creation?
Hi,
Assembling a piece of furniture without instructions…
It’s confusing and time-consuming, right?
The same is true when you’re speaking to an audience.
If you don’t have a structure for your presentation, you’ll just leave them scratching their heads.
That's why before you jump into the bright lights of a presentation…
Having a clear script is a must.
Here’s a tried and tested approach to guide you:
1. Your Main Message
What do you want your audience to take away from your presentation?
List your main message and then pin down three core points that reinforce it.
This becomes your script's backbone to keep you focused.
Just remember that your presentation is about making your main message shine.
It isn't about sharing everything you know.
2. Script Color
Once you have your core points, it's time to add some life to them.
This is where stories, analogies, and metaphors step in.
See, these aren’t just fillers.
They connect your points to relatable, everyday experiences.
Here, you can ask yourself:
How can you move your audience from the technical jargon of your industry to something more relatable?
Maybe it's likening a complex process to brewing the perfect cup of coffee…
Or comparing a challenging decision to choosing the best ice cream flavour.
Such analogies make your ideas and message more understandable.
Done right, they won’t dilute your message.
3. Blend & Balance
At this point, you now weave everything together.
Ensure that every story or analogy reinforces your core points and won't distract your audience.
Now, striking that balance might require a bit of revising…
But the outcome is worth it.
You’ll have a script that’ll make your presentation resonate and stay with your audience.
…Even after you’ve stepped off the stage.
Remember, a well-crafted script will not only guide you.
It’ll also ensure that your audience will walk away with a clear understanding of your message.
Now, if you feel like discussing more about this or need a sounding board as you draft…
Reach out anytime!
Cheers,
Carmen
