I've been told from one of the performers (more on this at a later time) that Pecha Kucha is a great tool to communicate some basic information which would then lead to further questions from an audience. I think its great. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a great week! Hi Claudia: I hope that this movement gains some momentum in the corporate world and the rest of the world, too.

I have sat through millions of boring presentations, I am SO happy to hear that this is now taking enough momentum as to have a name and a conference after it! Absolutely!

I learned something from writing this post - that I need to write a post about the event while it was more fresh in my mind. Also, I learned that Pecha Kucha is one of those words that's going to be pronounced about 20 different ways. I wish more companies would adopt the Pecha Kucha format, but I realize if your organization gets paid big bucks from a client, they're going to expect a presentation that goes into more details. I look forward to sharing my interview with the last presenter of the Chicago event...and if it becomes available, I'll share any video. Have a great weekend! Hi Lori: Thank you for your compliments!

And thanks for giving me the pronunciation of Pecha Kucha. Good move... You've whet my appetite regarding the presentation at the end. Tim, you're a <i>great</i> story teller: setting the stage, adding some flavor, and then building suspense for the final act/ending. Best seller (book) or speaker, ...anyone, ...anyone? I think you have the chops, Tim! Tell me when you'll be touring in my town - and I'm THERE!! Oh, and I should add that I love this idea of Pecha Kucha-style presentation. After years in the corporate world, this is a feast to the eyes! .-= Lori´s last post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JaneBeNimble/~3/pMHc9lrgEwY/" rel="nofollow">Front Porch: Of Bands, Explosions, and Cattle Auctions—Laughter with Jay Schryer</a> =-.

But I know our collective attention spans seem to be getting shorter, so Pecha Kucha is a great tool to combat that. I'm glad I was able to introduce you to something new. I'm still very intrigued about this kind of presentation. Have a great day! Jason: Thanks for sharing the NSA experiment...good to hear about that. I'm a member of Toastmasters here and it has helped me to get to the point since most of the speeches are 5 to 7 minutes. Sure there's always a lot more I want to say, but I think in more cases than not, the audience appreciates that we can get through it quickly and they'll reward you with their attention if you do.

The session included about 15 different speakers. It was very interesting to experience. Some were hilarious, others were powerful, others were just bad. It was a really neat way to see a lot of different styles, and it was comforting to know that if there was a speaker I didn't particularly care for, they'd be off the stage in a few minutes. I found it fascinating that in most cases, 5-6 minutes is plenty of time to tell a story and get an effective message across. .-= Jason of Kim & Jason´s last post...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/escapeadulthoodblog/~3/L84inDgyLYw/what-i-thought-about-while-shoveling-snow.html" rel="nofollow">What I Thought About While Shoveling Snow</a> =-.

I have never heard about Pecha Kucha before. I do know people who have to give a lot of presentations as part of their jobs and they often tell me the challenges of being able to have the right slides and to be able to give a talk within the required time constraints. I will definitely check out those two sites that you mentioned. It is always great to learn about new art forms. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. And I so look forward to the post about that last presentation you mentioned. Hope all is awesome! Hi Tim,
