presenting with emotion I

When I sat down and thought what Marty said after we presented the project 5, I decided to research on the art of presenting.

Thinking that why our presentation is dry, dull and ineffective? It could be our dispassionate delivery style, assuming people only want to hear the fact or rational arguments.

Human beings are by definition emotional and therefore no matter how logical we like to think we are, emotions are at the heart of our decision making strategies. If you want to “motivate” your audience to do something as a result of your presentation then you have to engage their “emotional brain” as well as their logical and analytical side. [1]

Sometimes these emotions will be positive and you can have them imagine what it will feel like when they are experiencing the benefits of your recommended action. [1]

Well sometimes we need to arouse negative emotions such as fear, sadness, pity or regret just like when we present the impact of disaster. If we can see clearly that our audience are following our arguments and we can tell from their empathy on their faces and the nodding heads, we know that they are agreed on our rationale, and they like the way we solve the problem.
