How to

Memorize
Your
Presentation
 Nothing erodes
your credibility as
a speaker faster
than signaling to
the audience that
you are
dependent on
your slides.
SPEAKING FROM
MEMORY CAN BE
extremely effective
IF DONE RIGHT
 It inspires
confidence that
you know what
you're talking
about and
establishes you as
an authority.
 MEMORY
PALACE
OR METHOD OF
Loci
Research into brain
science has proven
that there is a
very deep connection
between the way
we remember an
event and the space
in which it occurred
 To use the
Method of Loci,
you simply need to visualize
a location through which you can take
an imaginary walk
perhaps similar to
a route you have memorized on your way
to work
Eg. Memorize the names of the U.S. Presidents in order (there are 44).

To get into the car park, I jumped over a washing line

(George Washington ), where Adam and Eve (John
Adams ) were playing cricket with Geoffrey Boycott
(Thomas Jefferson ). Marilyn Manson (James Madison )
was in the IT block getting off with Marilyn Monroe
(James Monroe ) etc.
CREATE A
Mind Map
OF YOUR
PRESENTATION
Mind Maps break
down complex
subjects into easily
distinguishable
visual categories
Rehearse
YOUR
PRESENTATION
OUT LOUD
According to a
Research,
Memory can
Improve by
more than 10
Percent if
Information is
Spoken and
Repeated out
Loud
KEEP YOUR
REHEARSALS
WITHIN THE
20 20-20
Rule
 KEEP YOUR
REHEARSALS
WITHIN THE
20 20-20
Rule
If material is not
repeated within
Memory experts recommend that it is easier 30 minutes, it is
to memorize presentations by reviewing your
not encoded into
long-term memory
material for 20 minutes and then repeating
the information twice for 20 minutes each.
REHEARSE
BEFORE
Bedtime
 REHEARSE
BEFORE
Bedtime
A research shows that sleep If you rehearse your
enhances the Consolidation of presentation just before
Recently-Acquired Information in bedtime, you are more likely to
our memory system Remember the Material more easily
in the morning
Eg. To Recall the process
of Managing Question-
Answer Periods, Try
CRAM: Concentrate,
Repeat, Answer and
Move on
Do not write it in a word-for-word manuscript; rather,
make an outline with specific points or thoughts
WHAT IF
YOU STILL
forget
SOMETHING

?
 Pause and Give
Yourself Time to
Remember.
But always have
a fall-back
exercise

Ask the audience to repeat your last This gives you

three points. Put them in pairs and
have them talk to their partner for
time to Recall
one minute about an important point and Recover
Simply
Move
and the
on
audience
will likely not
notice as
only you know
the ideas that
you want to
present.
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AND
PRACTICE
