    I used this template to organize a 30-minute presentation that I gave on Massage for Fall Prevention for the Elderly at an assisted living facility. It went stunningly well. I got several regular clients as a result. Thanks for sharing this practical knowledge; it works!

      Thank you for letting me know, Robert. I'm glad it went well! If you haven't yet see my video on Monroe's Motivated Sequence, that's a similar video about persuasive message design.

    My tip: Watch Alex Lyon's videos 3 times a day for 3 days & copy out his excellent notes from the description box. Clear & informative without all the annoying chest beating & self promotion. Thank you Alex.

    Very concise, polished, yet natural-sounding presentation here Alexander. I just joined toastmasters and am looking for all the tips I can gather, thanks so much for the time and experience that you utilized for this video. Will be using your suggestions in every one of my subsequent Toastmasters speeches.

    My best tip before I go to bed is always do your presentation in front of a mirror the day before at least. I’m sure I’m not the only one who suggest this but it was something that stuck with me from school and it’s nice to see what you look and sound like before your presentation.

    Hey I really love your video it's so helpful. And I thought you would want to know that the ad running on your video is a scam

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  10 місяців тому

      Oh. Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, channels don't have any way to control what ads are shown on their videos. From what I understand, the ads are targeted to the individual watching, not the channel or video. So, other people watching this same video would not necessarily see whatever ad you saw. But you might see the ad on other videos. At least, that's the way I understand it works. It's all a bit of a mystery, honestly.

    Hi, Alex! My body is about 30 minutes. Is it better to make three 10-minute parts or six 5-minute parts? Increase time of each part or increase number of parts?

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  5 років тому

      I think it's really hard to answer that abstractly. But, my advice would be to pick the arrangement of main points that is the most memorable and most natural for the content.

  • @Marwa-826
    @Marwa-826 4 роки тому +2

    Hi Mr. Alex I really enjoy your videos.
    I have 2 questions;
    1. In case of a PHD seminar, can the 3 main ideas of the body just be"Introduction, results, conclusions" or has to be more presice?
    2. It is very formal in PHD to introduce my self and my supervisors in the beginning. Shall I follow this tradition?

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  4 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure how to give you advice on this. If you're working a a faculty member in a Ph.D. program, I would ask the professor about it.

      I got multiple screenshots of diagrams he used to help explain the process. You can also read over the process below the video. Alex spoke about it, using diagrams AND wrote it all out for us. Maybe he should do your presentation for you. What is he thinking; giving up his time to publish free content for everyone & not even doing your work for you?

      We usually call it simply "next steps" for more informative messages. Bu, some people call it a call to action regardless of the type of speech.
