Modular

Introductory

Two-parted

Singular

It tells the audience the data

It becomes a unit greater than the sum of its parts defined by a keyword, a fourth term that reaches for a bigger conceptual idea

It is defined by a rigid formula that you cannot adjust

It is locked: you can never revise the Modular Content Unit

The Summary that reviews the entire talk

The data in your Modular Content Unit that gives substance to your talk

The dominant concept that pulls together the whole content unit

The Introduction in your Salutation that helps people meet you

Yes, it is magic. Some people are creative and others are not.

It is difficult to be creative, but it’s not magic. It’s a process of time and distance.

No, creativity really has nothing to do with giving a successful presentation.

Yes, it is magic. People who are creative have a rare gift.

One: there is only one Modular Content Unit and it has a Topic, Data, and Analysis.

Two: It is good to make two points.

As many as you need to make your point

Three: Kuskin’s formula is based on threes, so you only need three Modular Content Units

The Modular Content Units are isolated from the One Compelling Point; the relationship is exclusive.

The Modular Content Units have a circular relationship to the One Compelling Point.

The One Compelling Point synthesizes all the separate Modular Content Units.

The relationship between the One Compelling Point and the Modular Content Units is one of revision and reflection.

It makes the presentation as a whole circle

It reiterates the main idea of your presentation

It brings together all the points you made in your content modules

All of the above

A spiral, because your main points swirl together to convince the audience

A triangle, because your facts are broad

A square, because it has four points like a firm foundation

A circle, because the beginning predicts the ending, and the ending is anticipated by the beginning
