Presenting without a deck???

Have you done your presentation/demo WITHOUT your slide deck? I had to.😳

Getting ready to start a 4hr training for 20 people, the bulb on my client's projector fizzled out. Thank heavens I knew The Memory Palace skill.

In his book "Moonwalking with Einstein," Joshua Foer brought this technique to a wider audience. Think of a place you know intimately (house you grew up in, old school, etc.) and walk through the location having placed objects in rooms or along the way which will remind you of what you need to remember.

Association/Location/Imagination (ALI) are key to making your memory palace successful according to memory champion Dominic O'Brien (yes, there is such a thing as a Memory Champion).

Complete confidence in my memorizing and never being caught off guard again. That's what this technique has given me. I highly recommend digging deeper into its mechanics and giving it a shot.
