Dueling Flip Charts Here is a very interesting way to use flip charts when exercising this dynamic public speaking skill. Put one on both sides of the stage and pop back and forth between them. You can have an audience member volunteer at each flip chart helping you record input from other audience members. This has a tremendous "Wake em Up" value because: * You have audience members on stage, * You are in the audience, and * Audience members are providing the input. When you are an expert with dynamic public speaking skills, you are not limited to doing this with flip charts. You could have duel overhead projectors for larger crowds. You could still even have your darned old PowerPoint on a screen in the middle. The mere fact the audience has to look this way and that, back and forth, will help keep them awake. You could even have flip charts placed all around the room so they are ready when you break up into smaller groups. Then the results pages could be torn off and taped in a row on the wall. This dynamic public speaking skill involves thinking ahead, and keeping the heads of your audience moving, back and forth, both inside and out. |
