When business needs to make a presentation [tell a story] they turn to an in-house subject matter expert [SME] and PowerPoint [PPT].
This is the norm….the status quo [that's Latin for same as everyone else].
If you want to engage the audience sometimes a little drama is what you need. In this case a large silicon valley company wanted to demonstrate how their technology worked…so they brought me in to create a fun character for the interaction.
We had some fun by creating an overzealous employee. Funny. Engaging. Memorable. Not Staus Quo.
Two weeks after the event employees were still talking about how the technology worked. And isn’t that what we’re after?
