Creating Presentations to Draw Focus and Maximize Learning

I am hearing but not listening, I am struggling to keep my focus…my mind doesn’t hesitate to wonder what’s for lunch. I steal a quick glance at my phone…only 15 minutes have passed!

The experience of sitting through an arduous presentation, perhaps feeling disengaged and impatient, is not one that is foreign to me. Growing up, I was the student who couldn’t sit still. I was easily distracted. I was bored. I was eager for the next thing. I was always on the move from one activity to the next. It took me many years to realize that there was nothing inherently wrong with me, that I was simply an unconventional learner; the traditional methods of learning did not suit me well (or in the language of today, it was not vibing).
