Synopsis: Chapter 9
“Tapping Emotion”
In reading Chapter 9, it mentions that no matter what words you use either positive or negative they all have a sticky potential. Of course we want our audience to have a positive impact on our presentation, so we need to make emotions stick. Knowing that our brains have two sides: right (emotional, musical, and moody) and left (dexterity, facts, and hard data) we want to focus on the right side so that they can have an awesome and fun presentation to remember. A change of perspective never hurts because many students have life changing experiences around them which are obliged to act when they see the images or listen to music. When you have a positive emotional charge in words and music it creates profound emotional impact. As a teacher I realize how I set the mood in my classroom, do I carry the content from my heart to theirs? As a teacher and presenter we must take the opportunity to create positive feedback and instill good images and music so that our students and audience can tap emotions into our presentations.
