Tristan de Montebello: "Stop focusing as much on what you want to say and focus more on what you want your audience to remember. We call it the bow and arrow technique because you can only remember one thing out of a talk... The one thing is your arrow." Define a single sentence that represents the only thing you want remembered. Select anecdotes and data (the bow) that provide the tension to launch that arrow.

Nancy Duarte: "This motion of traversing between what is, what could be, what is, what could be... makes people leave their current state and long for this future state." Structure your narrative to alternate between the current flawed reality and the ideal future. End with "new bliss" - the world with your idea adopted.
