GET OPTIMIZED!

1) Ask yourself: “To what extent am I predictable?” When our audience can anticipate what happens next, you’re not forcing the brain to stay with you and learn.

2) Use visual cues to improve your memory. Create images in your head around anything that you want to retain, and when you think about that subject, you'll remember the image first.

3) Evoke emotion in your audience, when they become emotionally engaged they have a better chance of remembering the information.
