Chapter 4: Ringing CHIMES

Ringing CHIMES discusses ways in which to make presentations interesting and memorable.  CHIMES is an acronym for connections, humor, images, music, emotion, stories, and senses.  I found the chapter very interesting and helpful.  It outlines ways to improve a presentation that I had never really thought about.  I know humor is always necessary and helpful, but I never realized how important it was to access other senses.  I especially liked when the author discusses how one how one should attract not distract.  When I think of making a presentation memorable and interesting it always veers in the direction of distraction.  I know understand that I must keep the author's words in mind and keep not distract. I found many things in this chapter useful.  Eventhough the author is not fond of acronyms, I find them very helpful in remembering new information.  My goal is to remember this when I'm presenting new information.
