"It is the intensity with which you listen to what’s happening around you.It is the way you gather information and translate it to wisdom about yourself, your work, your audience, your marketplace, and the deep instinctive sweetspots where they start to intersect. "
in a way that draws on your unique layering of personality and intelligence and personal history. You bring all of yourself (your selves) to your work: your shadow as well as your shiny public face.
Your right audience can’t recognize you until you step out from hiding. If you operate behind a mask, people will be attracted to the mask and not to you. When it gets knocked off — and sooner or later it will — people will be confused, or dismayed, or angry, and they will desert you.
That shame is the result of faking it, of putting on an identity that isn't really you (I'm powerful) and having it exposed (rejected.)
The solution is to not fake it. That doesn't mean not try, that means instead of sitting up straight before the presentation, sit up straight all the time. At least train your body to naturally adopt what your mind is too nervous/self-conscious to do.
If this study is at all representative of the truth, it means that eventually you will physically change into the person your body is pretending to be.

You don't need small classes to get students active and engaged.the key is to get them to do the assigned reading - what he calls the "information-gathering" part of education - before they come to class.
it's not good enough to have a source of information."guide on the side" - a kind of coach, working to help students understand all the knowledge and information that they have at their fingertips. this new role is imp one.
discussing a question. Three possible answers to the question are projected on a screen. Before the students start talking with one another, they vote for their answer. Only 29 percent got it right. After talking for a few minutes,tell them to answer the question again.This time, 62 percent of the students get the question right. Next,lead a discussion about the reasoning behind the answer. The process then begins again with a new question. This is a method Mazur calls "peer Instruction."

Remember, they never remember the beginning. They only remember how it ended.
A pure repeat of the high points of the beginning and the middle is a total cop-out. You need to find a different way to say the same thing.
The beauty of a good ending is that you can't find it until you've written, spoken, or built a good part of your beginning and middle. For me, that's the high in building a thing - the moment of clarity when you're hopelessly lost somewhere in the middle and you suddenly discover the slide, the paragraph, or the design that immediately and simply encompasses everything you've just been trying to say. You need to save that discovery for the end.
The action items aren't world changing, but your ending, the reminder that we actually love working here, explains to everyone that there is no crap work when you're doing what you love.
" To become remarkable, tackle the most ambitious projects you can complete.
To get the biggest returns, you need to also invest in increasing the maximum level of ambitiousness you can achieve.
Part of this latter goal is simply dedicating the deliberate practice required to become excellent."
First, create a clear and logical narrative.
• Then design slides to illustrate your narrative.
• Combine your story and slides in a verbal run-through of your presentation, but do it seated in front of your computer screen so that you don't have to think about your eye contact, gestures, posture, or voice.
• Do another run-through standing up in a vacant conference room, presenting to the empty chairs as if they were filled with audience members. This time, focus on your eye contact, gestures, posture, and voice.
• Do a dress rehearsal to colleagues or friends, integrating all the components.
• Dive into the water and swim like a fish.

Although this may seem daunting, spending the time to prepare your presentation will take a great deal of fear out of the process.

-
What is the objective of my talk? (to highlight new data, give an overview of my research, etc.)
-
Which main points do I want to present?
-
Which key message do I want people to remember after my talk is over?
ask yourself three things:
Make a list of the answers to these questions as the starting point for your presentation. Then sketch out your presentation in draft form, using keywords and bullet points rather than complete sentences. After you've done this, review what you've written. Is your presentation logical and consistent? Are there extraneous pieces of information that can be left out? Are you trying to present too much information for the amount of time you've been allotted? As a general rule, 2 minutes should be spent on each slide, so calculate how many slides you should ideally have.
