Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll take a look. Thankfully, since I wrote the original post Apple have updated keynote for ipad to work with Apple Keynote remote for iphone so the problem has been resolved.

I recommend EPR – easy presentation remote app.
It turns your iPhone/iPod touch into a stylish and reliable remote control for your PowerPoint presentation.

I tried many presentation remote apps but this EPR is the best.

Well said Gavin. There’s no doubt, storytelling is the glue that gives us understanding.

You might like this video of Kurt Vonnegut explaining the shape of stories. I think of it constantly when thinking about how to structure a narrative:

Spot on Aled. Nested loops are indeed a powerful tool for catching and holding an audience’s attention but they need a bit of practice.
THanks for the comment. I’ll blog about them some more in a later article.

Agree wholeheartedly.

I recently learnt about embedding stories within stories, I think it’s called nesting stories. The idea is that you begin a story and before you complete it you start another and before you complete that another and so on. You then close each story in sequence ending with the opening story. Keeps them engaged and you can layer the metaphors for real engagement.

Cheers
