How to cook-up a presentation like Jamie Oliver
Last week, I wrote about what Aristotle can teach us about creating the most persuasive presentations. Because, if you’ve got a good idea, you want to make sure the right people get behind it.
If you’ve got a good idea, you want to make sure the right people get behind it
Just to recap, you need to use:
• Pathos – to evoke feelings
• Ethos – to give your presentation credibility
• Logos – to give your presentation logic
You can also think of this as creating the why, how and what of your argument.
In the comments, I was asked if there was a good example of a talk that used these principles well. So I gave a link to Jamie Oliver’s brilliant TED talk. I’m now going to explain what he did so well and what we can learn from it.
But first, here’s the video:
Good, isn’t it?
Jamie Oliver’s Passionate case for an all-out assault on our ignorance about food has many points that correspond to Aristotle’s approach to persuasion.
1. Create a STORY that engages the audience’s interest. (Pathos)
“Sadly in the next 18 minutes when I do our chat 4 Americans that are alive, will be dead through the food that they eat.”
2. Raise a PROBLEM that needs a solution. (Logos)
“The adults of the last four generations have blessed our children with the destiny of a shorter lifespan than their children.”
3. Offer a SOLUTION to the problem raised
“We’ve got to start teaching our kids about food in our schools. Period.”
4. Describe the BENEFITS for adopting the course of action. (Ethos)
“It’s profoundly important that every single American child leaves school knowing how to cook ten recipes that will save their life.”
“You’re cleverer if you eat well, live longer.”
5. State a call to ACTION
What do you want your audience to do?
“I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”
