brain rules for presenters
DESCRIPTION
Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know—like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule—what scientists know for sure about how our brains work—and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.TRANSCRIPT

Dr. Medina’s findings discussed
in Brain Rules are ideas worth
spreading...So I extracted some quotes
and key points as they relate to
my field — presentation — to
help you spread the word.

Brain Rules is one of the most informative, engaging, and useful books of our time. Required reading for every educator and every business person. My favorite book of 2008!

Why me? Three reasons: (1) Let my enormous
eyes remind you that vision is the most
dominant sense for you humans.

And (2) allow my remarkable coloring and shape to remind you that you humans are wired to notice differences and patterns...

And (3) let my tiny, primitive brain remind
you that, while I get the most use out of
my brain (as far as I know), you, my friend,
could learn to use your massive, evolved brain
much more effectively...

Rule #1Exercise boosts brain power.
Rule #4We don’t pay attention to boring things.
Rule #10 Vision trumps all other senses.

Two reasons for this...

Exercise increases oxygen flow into the brain, which reduces brain-bound free radicals...an increase in oxygenis always accompaniedby an uptick in mentalsharpness.”— Dr. John Medina

What’s this have to do with presentations?
Two things...

Passively sitting is a very unnatural thing. Audiences have no patience for tedium. Think of the presentation from your audienceʼspoint of view.

Here’s something else important to
remember in the preparation stage:
Multitasking is a myth.
![Page 75: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Multitasking, when it comes to paying attention, is a myth.
“”— Dr. John Medina

We are biologically incapable of processing attention-rich inputs simultaneously.

Take 50% longer to complete a task.Make 50% more errors.
People who are interrupted:

Take 50% longer to complete a task.Make 50% more errors.
People who are interrupted:
You’d be more efficient without the interruptions

Hey, being online is great, but
you’d be surprised how much of
your “being connected” is also
“being interrupted.”
![Page 81: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
When you’re always online you’re always distracted. “ ”— Dr. John Medina

Yet, most presentations are put together while doing other things...
Is this you?

Johnson! Where’s that presentation I asked for?!!!!

Yes time is an issue, and
each case is different, but.

If the presentation matters, you need time off the grid to prepare.

If the presentation matters, you need time off the grid to prepare.
You might want to ditch the
computer too for a while...

Try “going analog” and focusing only on the presentation in the prep stage.
Is this you?

Big picture vs. details
![Page 90: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Structure your presentation around meaning, and the big picture. Then support key ideas with details.
![Page 91: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
If you want to get the particulars correct, donʼt start with the details. Start with the key ideas and, in hierarchical fashion, form the detailsaround these larger notions.
“”— Dr. John Medina
Good advice, but how long can people pay attention to your talk?
![Page 92: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
The brain needs a
break.
![Page 93: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
If keeping someone’s attention in a lecture was a business, it would have an 80% failure rate.

After 10 minutes, audience attention steadily drops.

So do something emotionally relevant at each 10-minute mark to regain attention.
![Page 97: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Dr. Medina suggests changing gears every 10 minutes in your presentation (lecture, etc.). Tell a relevant story, show a relevant video, do a relevant activity, etc.

One more thing about attention...

We’re wired to notice patterns

But eventually you’ll recognize chunks you’ve seen before.

The brain pays attention to patterns. Remembering some-thing we’ve seen before (like quick-sand) is a useful evolutionary trait.

What’s the most common communication mistake?
according to Dr. Medina

Relating too much information, with not enough time devoted to connecting the dots. Lots of force feeding, very little digestion.

The brain doesn’t pay attention to boring things, and I am as sick of boring presentations as you are.

Why is vision such a big deal to us? Perhaps because it’s how we’ve always apprehended major threats, food supplies and reproductive opportunity.

Pictures beat text...because reading is so inefficient for us. We have to identify certain features in the letters to be able to read them. That takes time.

Let’s see those three rules again...

Rule #1Exercise boosts brain power.
Rule #4We don’t pay attention to boring things.
Rule #10 Vision trumps all other senses.

Rule #1Exercise boosts brain power.
Review✓ Our brains were built for walking/moving!
✓ To improve your thinking skills, move!
✓ Exercise gets blood to the brain, bringing it glucose and oxygen.
✓ Aerobic exercise 2x/week halves the risk of general dementia, reduces risk of Alzheimer’s by 60%.
✓ Exercise is just about the best thing you can do for yourself says Dr. Medina.
![Page 123: Brain Rules For Presenters](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013118/54515df6af7959af2f8b7baf/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Rule #4We don’t pay attention to boring things.
✓ No multitasking. When it comes to attention, it’s only one thing at a time.
✓ We are better at seeing patterns, abstracting meaning than recording details.
✓ Tapping people’s emotions helps them learn.
✓ People start to fade after 10 minutes. Get them back by telling stories, examples, and targeting their emotions.

Review✓ Vision is our dominant sense, using half ofthe brain’s resources.
✓We learn/remember best through picturescompared to text or spoken words.
✓Try to communicate more with pictures.
✓Toss your current PowerPoint slides.
Rule #10 Vision trumps all other senses.
