being inspirational

​

using metaphor, rhyme, and alliteration for “stickiness”

​

drawing my own images for my slide decks (which are primarily  image-based, with relatively little text)

​

sharing slide decks 

​

using interactive elements such as think/pair/share and always including a challenge or call to action at the end (I encourage use of the conference social media backchannel as well)
