Pecha Kucha

We've all seen and heard presentations that just seem to go on forever.  We don't mean to be rude, but there's only so much a person can listen and pay attention to before they start getting bored and tired of the topic.  This is a presenter's worst nightmare.  There's nothing more terrifying than getting up on a stage or in front of an audience, prepared to give your speech, only to see yawns and bored expressions coming from the crowd.  There are ways to avoid these situations though.  One solution is the Pecha Kucha presentation style.  Originating in Japan in 2003, Pecha Kucha is comprised of 20 images, and 20 seconds per slide.  This style was created to help speakers present efficiently by limiting the entire presentation to 6 minutes and 40 seconds.  This shorter presentation style helps keep the audience engaged and interested in what you're saying.  This style would be extremely beneficial to business because it lets the speaker focus on key concepts that they want to communicate to the audience.  Businesses could use this to pitch a sales idea, promote a new product, etc. So next time you have to give a presentation, have no fear! Pecha Kucha is here!
