Quantum Presenting

When you present, do you need things to go exactly according to plan? If so, you might be putting yourself in a vulnerable position. Dean recommends taking a “quantum approach” to presenting, making you relaxed and open to more possibilities, so you can knock your presentation out of the park.

okay folks it is time to get Quantum I want to talk about a thing I call Quantum presenting it’s the way I think and I compute in my brain as I go into presenting and it makes me really comfortable very relaxed now I’m often pretty fired up but I’m not uptight when I present because I present in a Quantum way now think of regular Computing traditional Computing is binary it’s bits it’s ones and zeros it’s on or off States it’s right or wrong and people present in a very binary way they plot everything out they know their paragraphs they know their words and then they try to duplicate it and at every word every syllable you have the chance to do it wrong I either got it right or I got it wrong times a thousand and it sets you up for uptight presenting now I compute in a more quantum way in my head it’s a series of possibilities everything exists in multiple States at once until it’s observed so until I present it I haven’t locked on exactly how something needs to be done or said and I take that into a sweet spot of presenting where I have a flow and a sequence and a series of movements that I plan to ADH herish to and and as I present I’m always open to possibilities I’m open to possibilities as I read the audience as I take Q&A kind of early and all the way through and somebody says to me uh how do you do this and this or how do you deal with that I don’t say well hold on it’s it’s coming in a few slides just when you sit tight and weight I take it on as soon as somebody presents something to me that changes the possibilities I grab it and I move with it or I decide what to do so I want to suggest taking a Quantum Computing approach to your presenting it’s a series and a flow with very distinct ideas but at every node every movement every paragraph or sentence or interaction or word be open to the possibilities don’t let yourself get locked up into the uptight presenter who’s trying to get it right instead take the quantum approach everything is possibilities and be open to those possibilities until you allow them to be observed by pulling them out and putting them into the world and you’ll find yourself much more you much more flexible adaptable and free for your Quantum presentation
