• A simple way of describing the structure of a story is situation, complication and resolution.
• A presentation also has a beginning, middle and an end, and two turning points that guide the audience through the content and separating the start of development and the development of the final.
• The first turning point is the call to adventure, that is, an invitation to the audience to realize “how things are” and “how could or should be.”
• This is where the “complication” some conflict or imbalance, and your audience will want in your presentation you can give a resolution to that imbalance arises.
• The content of the presentation should be dynamic and must follow a structure that push and pull steadily to the audience, making you feel that the ideas and events are discovered gradually. Thus, it will remain interested.
• The second turning point is the call to action, which expresses what the audience needs to do or how they can change to resolve the conflict. Upon reaching this point, it is almost at the conclusion of the presentation.

• Statistics speak for themselves: If you find statistics to support him and are shocking, do not minimize its importance, direct attention to them.
• An emotional story: Linking a great story, a great idea, facilitates the development of the presentation. In addition, presentations supported in stories present information in a way that will be remembered.
