PIMP
MY
TALK
The unforgettable online program for inspiring tech presenters
Inspiring tech presenters are attractors
If your words can spark better ideas in the mind of others than they have without you, they will turn to you and follow you everywhere. They will hang on your lips. That is the attraction law of inspiring tech presentations.
Have a look inside PIMP MY TALK.
The only goal of all tech talks is to inspire action and sponsors.
If you don't implant ideas, you will never inspire.
No matter what you want
- applause at an international conference
- a good mark from your professor
- defend your PhD
- subsidies from the state
- motivate your team
- receive budget from sponsors
- get hired
- higher salary from your boss
- get promoted
- signature of a cooperation contract
Every innovator knows how to attract people, spark ideas and inspire action because innovation = creativity + action. That's why CEOs, entrepreneurs, and group leaders are great presenters. They move people by moving hearts.
Your BIG BUG: You bore and confuse your audience with ugly slides and nerdy words
But a confused mind never buys! So that's the best way to lose your audience within seconds.
Don't worry. You're not alone. To be honest: Even the most successful CEOs had to learn presentation and visualization skills step-by-step.
I put the knowledge of a few unforgettable talk-giants like Steve Jobs in the hands of many - in YOUR hands - with my unforgettable program PIMP MY TALK for techies.
A successful tech talk requires successful communication.
If you don't control your communication, your presentation will fail. FOR SURE.
Axiom: Everything communicates
- Your look
- Your shoes
- Your voice
- Your facial expressions
- Your micromovements
- Your gesturing
- Your hair
- Your eyes

- Your nail polish

- Your nervousness
- Your pauses
- Your introduction
- Your graphics
- Your results
- Your prototypes
- Your slide design
- Your talk structure
- Your talk end
I want to be an inspiring

Become the most attractive person in your company in 1 day:
AN INSPIRING TECH PRESENTER
Hook with an ICEBREAKER
Guess, how much time you have to hook your audience? I can tell you that even pessimists guess too optimistic. You have only about 10 seconds! Your audience decides within the first 10 seconds whether they will listen to you or not. That's why a great speaker knows that she must open a talk with an ICEBREAKER using storytelling. Stories trigger our self-preservation instinct and we stick to the lips of the storyteller - the survivor of a dangerous situation. We open ourselves completely to her information on how to survive.
In module 1 I will reveal the ICEBREAKER formula for openings and inspiring ends with >25 examples.
Irresistable body language
Put your hands in your pockets or take them out? Stand on one leg or both? Speak loudly or more quietly? And how to handle the laser pointer?
Newton's axiom says: Every action leads to a reaction. This is true for communication as well. Watzlack, the Newton of communication, defines: Everything communicates. That's why, non-verbal messages including body movements, facial expressions, vocal tone and volume, and other micro expressions are a silent orchestra to your listeners.
In module 4 you will work on your body movements and voice in detail so that they can work for you.
Design psychology
Design is thinking made visible. That's why your Powerpoint presentation reveals so much about your way of thought. "Wait, design is not about creativity?" - "No!"
Design is about typography, color psychology, geometry, density, balance, symmetry, hierarchy, contrast, repetition, proportion, and white space. One can immediately see how well your thoughts are structured in the simplicity and clarity of your slides. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk use the power of design, too.
By the way, Powerpoint has a lot of functions that help you with slide design and even formulas.
In module 2 you will visualize your thoughts easily with Powerpoint.
Talk architecture
Did you know that your audience is sleeping while you present all the great achievements, specs and sweat, and blood and tears of your work? The attention curve of your listeners has a minimum in the middle of your talk and has maxima at the beginning and the end. In a nutshell: They fall asleep after "Welcome, ladies, and gentlemen" and wake up at "Thank you for your attention!"
While the design is decorative and rhetoric is sculptural, talk structure is architectural. It keeps the attention up.
In module 5 I will show you different talk architectures which you can sculpt and decorate with the knowledge of 4 modules.
Manipulate with rhetoric
Already Plato knew: Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men. And as you want to inspire action you have to know the most powerful rhetoric tools. Don't worry, they work for techies as well as for politicians:
- Priming
- Rhetorical effect-questions
- Metophor
- Magic pauses
- Prototypes & numbers
In module 3 I will practice with you how to inspire action with rhetorical tools.
BONUS: Kat's Visual memos
I will share with you my condensed knowledge on a single A4 piece of paper.
You can print it on A4 or the size of a poster for your office. It will help you to remember without depending on internet.

Kat helped me to find a great icebreaker for my tech presentation and optimized the design.
I used the insights for our sales pitch delivered at the Jenoptik Innovation Challenge. It not only won us the Digitalization Challenge but also a private dinner with the CEO of Jenoptik for winning across all disciplines.
