		<description><![CDATA[m62 messaging consultants meet with you to agree the key messages in your presentation. Then they will structure your message to maximise the audience recall of this information.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Make them remember your message!</h2>
<ul>
<li>How much do you need your audience to remember?</li>
<li>How do you choose the facts they forget and those they recall?</li>
<li>How much more impact would you have if you could select what they remembered?</li>
<li>What if your audience could repeat your key messages?</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="ip"></a>m62 Intellectual Property: Passive Mnemonic Processes</h3>
<p>As long ago as the 1800s cognitive psychologists have known that while human memory has a large capacity it is unreliable and very selective. In short, we are not good at recalling facts. Try it now &#8211; write down the number of facts you can recall from the last television news program you watched.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2715" title="news-business-presentation" src="http://www.m62.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/news-business-presentation.jpg" alt="news-business-presentation" width="368" height="204" />Fact delivery rates in a TV news program are about 10 per minute, if you watched a 15 minute newscast you were probably exposed to 150 facts. How did you do?</p>
<p>Presentations are the same. 30 slides with 5 facts each means 150 pieces of information. How much do you recall? 10% or less?</p>
<p>Long before the psychologists understood what happened in the brain the Greeks understood how to nurture recall. At m62 we use a series of Mnemonic Techniques (Chunking, Rehearsal, Relevance, Association and Visualisation) to massively increase the amount of information that your audience recall, but more importantly to allow you to choose which information they recall and which they forget.</p>
<p>We call these techniques <strong>Passive Mnemonic Processes</strong> and if you have 10 minutes we’d like to demonstrate them in a <a href="http://www.m62.net/arrange-online-demo/">short online meeting</a>.</p>
<h3>Benefits of using m62 recall</h3>
<ul class="list_1">
<li>More <strong>memorable</strong></li>
<li>More <strong>effective</strong></li>
<li>More <strong>engaging</strong></li>
<li>More <strong>impressive</strong></li>
<li><strong>Quick </strong></li>
<li><strong>Easy</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works?</h3>
<p>m62 messaging consultants meet with you to agree the key messages in your presentation. In a persuasive presentation these will be the reasons for change (or value proposition), in a training presentation the learning objectives. Then they will structure your message to maximize the audience recall of this information.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine presenting to an audience that is truly listening. How much more successful would your presentation be if the audience actually paid attention?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="paying-attention" src="http://www.m62.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/paying-attention.jpg" alt="paying-attention" width="736" /></p>
<h2>Make sure your audience is paying attention!</h2>
<p>Imagine presenting to an audience that is actually listening!</p>
<ul>
<li>Not checking Blackberrys</li>
<li>Not sending texts</li>
<li>Not writing notes.</li>
</ul>
<p>How much more successful would your presentation be, if they actually paid attention?</p>
<h3><a name="ip"></a>m62 Intellectual Property: Visual Cognitive Dissonance</h3>
<p><img title="attention-recall-graph" src="http://www.m62.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/attention-recall-graph.jpg" alt="attention-recall-graph" width="388" height="260" /></p>
<p>The human brain receives millions of pieces of data each day, you cannot process it all and so your brain automatically selects which information it is going to pay attention to. Information for survival tops the list with the fight-or-flight reflex (W Cannon 1920) but after this sets in a hierarchy of attention. The trick is to manipulate this to maximize your audience&#8217;s attention to make sure that they are paying attention to you, and not thinking about something else.</p>
<p>After over 7000 presentations and 160,000 PowerPoint slides m62 has developed a best practice model for gaining attention. We call it <strong>Visual Cognitive Dissonance</strong> and it has been demonstrated to massively increase both attention and by implication retention by audiences across every conceivable type and subject matter of presentation.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4125" title="sample-slides" src="http://www.m62.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/sample-slides.jpg" alt="sample-slides" width="736" height="131" /></p>
<p>m62&#8217;s visualisation consultants know how to apply these techniques to improve the amount of attention you get in your presentations.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.m62.net/arrange-online-demo/">Book a 10-minute online demonstration</a> of VCD in practice.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.m62.net/presentation-theory/visualisation/the-right-visuals/">Watch a video</a> of our CEO present an explanation of VCD.</p>
<h3>Benefits of using m62 engage</h3>
<ul class="list_1">
<li>Increased <strong>attention</strong></li>
<li>Shorter <strong>presentations</strong></li>
<li>More <strong>effective communication</strong></li>
<li>Better <strong>audience recall</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works?</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.m62.net/submit-a-slide/">Send us your presentation</a> and we will provide a free online consultation with one of our consultants. They will give you an online presentation explaining how the use of Visual Cognitive Dissonance can dramatically transform the way your audience engage with you.</p>
