Abstract

We often listen to talks, awaiting something to excite us. Presenters fail quite often. They do not accomplish the goal to convince others about what they are convinced themselves. That is because presenters make an effort to deliver a superb, unique rationale. But that does not inevitably change a listener's belief systems. In case an issue is complicated, a heterogenous audience might be unlikely to follow a speaker's rationale, although the presenter might provides strong arguments for his case. If instead the presenter tweaks complex issues into a so-called "springboard story", he will receive immediate perception once he started his talk, provide an easy understanding of even complex issues, and sparks an audience to action because listeners create their own pictures of the future that will become reality due to the presenter's intention.
