Karl uses his PowerPoint in a boring way. Eugen creates anticipation.
Here's how Karl goes about it:
[click] (slide one appears)
Karl: "This is what you see on the first slide."
👉 But we've seen the slide before Karl opened his mouth. He's telling us old news.
[click] (slide two appears)
Karl: "This is what you see on the second slide."
👉 Again, old news, Karl!
[click] (and so on)
Eugen, on the contrary, goes like this:
"On the next slide, I'm going to show you something that might surprise you... Some of you might even get uncomfortable. But it's something we all will have to deal with."
[pause]
[anticipation rises]
"Are you ready for it? Please pay good attention..."
[anticipation rises further]
[click]
👉 Don't be like Karl. Be like Eugen.
