In this short tip, Lorraine K. Lee emphasizes the importance of incorporating recaps into presentations and other content. She explains that many webinars leave audiences unable to recall key takeaways, and suggests using recaps grouped in sets of three because the brain more easily remembers triads. This approach not only aids audience retention but also improves the presenter’s logical flow, making the presentation easier to follow and reinforcing the core message. She concludes with a call to subscribe to her newsletter.

Hello everyone. Today's tip of the day is to remember to include recaps next time you are creating a presentation or a piece of content. Now, why recaps? I cannot tell you how many webinars I've been in where I'm paying attention during it. It seems great at the time, but the moment it ends, I find myself wondering, what exactly did I take away? I can't really remember what was just covered. Now, ideally, when you are including recaps, you're going to include them in sets of 3s because the brain just happens to remember 3s more easily. And when you can do this, it's not only going to help your audience, it's going to help you as a presenter as well. This is because when you think in 3s, when you think in terms of making sure that you have proper recaps, you are creating a more logical flow to the presentation. It's easier for your audience to follow along, and then of course you have those recaps to help reinforce your message after the fact. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you'll subscribe to my newsletter, and I'll see you next time.
