[pazoro66]

[guitashamilele]

PE

It's not that's difficult

[throwoutyourarms]

he cannot say it properly.

[OrangeKlip]

@thenatkid

u do it on Microsoft office PowerPoint

[laskovaiakoshechka]

Pecha chka? Why is he calling it like this? :S

[halfmumi]

Electric hand dryers are not env friendly...They have extremely high amount of electric usage.

[48scorion]

@halfmumi just imagine the paper waste that industries produce when they use paper towels though. More info on that on a website that cares. But a few seconds of running a machine is MUCH more environmentally friendly than requiring rolls and rolls of heavy paper towels per day/week

[TheModCon]

The most boring presentation I've ever watched :/

[thenatkid]

I donno how to install pecha kucha. anyone help?

[countrygentleman10]

pehca kuchas are gay

[anaeli1894]

question, does it have to be only one image per slide, or can I include various images in one slide at a time?? PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS YOU CAN, ITS FOR SCHOOL... ITS URGENT! HAPPY DAY!

[mightymight91]

@anaeli1894 can be multiple images

[benatwholesystems]

Reads what the slides say. Come on.

[Larrmon]

Uh, pe cha ku cha. Respect the syllables.

[albertabeefcowboy84]

@Larrmon

Its not pronounced that way.

[cloudnine89]

zzzzzzzzzz

[melmahgiub]

The way he says Pecha Kucha hurts my ears.

[mellamokori]

@melmahgiub omg me too! it's totally wrong...he should know that if he was in japan...

[blambowl]

@melmahgiub That is how it is pronounced.

[SrLeoSalazar]

@melmahgiub

forvo.com/word/pecha_kucha/

[melmahgiub]

@SrLeoSalazar I speak Japanese, thanks.

[Truthordare5]

Pecha KOOcha.

This presentation is very cool but I wonder if the announcer would be as precise live

as he is in this voice over.

[miyuhiwatari]

just wondering.. if it's Pecha Kucha, why do people pronounce it as Pechachka?

[desigrrl08]

@miyuhiwatari its due to the same phenomenon that makes some people from some parts of the world to pronounce for eg. Iraq as Eye-rack and Pakistan as Pack-is-Tan... and no matter what the correct manner of saying something is, they are right, and that's it.

[mellamokori]

@miyuhiwatari because people are stupid.

it's definitely pronounced pechakcha.

[callofgears91]

lol last slide:

THE GAME

this guy was trolling us all the presentation...

meh srsly, pecha kucha is cool, and the presentation was cool =D

[Arjun007ize]

nice one

[mikelmotorsikel]

Really smart and awesome presentation. thanks!

[metonymy11]

pronounced pe check uh cha

[ariadarabi]

lol i gotta do this for my grade 11 project D= this is hard!

[eresumes4vips]

Learned about this presentation style via Toastmasters... ~Andre, aka eResumes4Vips ('The Encouragement Guy!')

[Aristocob]

Daniel. This is a great idea and thanks to your video I attended and presented at a recent PechaKucha event. Who would've thought 20 seconds was so FAST! Thanks for sharing. Scott

[sophiachen417]

Powerful ... =D

Thanks for sharing with us.

[devious222]

lol he is saying pechachka instead of pechakucha. said right it should sound more like pechakcha (with little emphasis on the 'u' sound)

[cyborgxxi]

Yeah, it's really annoying for me. :(

[Aristocob]

Crud! This is how I've been pronouncing it due to this video. Oh well, we'll all live.

[SITFO]

I've done this for years without needing a trendy name for it...

[FrenchyMarine]

Thanks very much for the explanation.

You see, I am French and I had nerver heard of this way of presenting things...but now, our teacher asks us to do a pecha kucka on some subject in which we have to convince people that what we are presenting is the best thing ever...I am a little anxious, but after watching this video, I do not find it as difficult as I thought it would be.

[bongopigbo]

The time limit is important but there are other things going on here that are more important:

1) Use pictures (not texts)

2) Tell a story using those pictures as cues

If people only did those two things, the world of PowerPoint would be interesting. The 20 seconds rule is just a nice discipline on top.

It's how I presented when I was a lecturer, it's how I would naturally present in business today.

[bongopigbo]

@bongopigbo I must add that I used to think I did it that way because I was uniquely lazy and ill-disciplined. Now I know that it was a smart technique years ahead of its time :-)

[zhe93]

thanks for sharing this video. this is very helpful.

[General666999]

i have to present pucha kucha next week for my marketing class :( i dont like this style at all....

[chinarut]

wow - thanks for sharing this video! convinced this is gonna be my 6 min presentation for my PR class - go Johnny! ;-)

[VSBarneyTheDinosaur]

There is no such thing as a One Trick Fits All scenario.

[shysix]

So you think pecha kucka is a potentially "One Trick Fits All" strategy which is essentially and generally less effective than what Danial Pink thinks?

[watzegjemedaarnouvan]

I am sorry, but I would like signs more creative and not (almost) emotionally manipulating all the time, like in your examples. We are intelligent people, do we really need to have social ground rules pointed out and explained these ways? That´s a terrible thing really.

[theTosh]

'We' are not intelligent people. There are intelligent people who know how to behave. However, the experience can be improved for those who are more likely not to follow these rules by these types of signs. If you think this is 'manipulating' then you might not be as intelligent as you think.

[watzegjemedaarnouvan]

I think you are displaying not being able to take critique seriously and respectfully. It means you do not respect your subject either. That is a shame. To direct people in such ways as in some of your examples can be to belittle people, at the least. I think it will not help this world at all. I am not attacking you as a person, but you are doing so towards me. That is a terrible thing to do, and you might want to ask yourself if you belong to "those who know how to behave".

Good luck.

[theTosh]

If you cannot see that's you are being a hypocrite then you have no hope. I am arguing your opinion is wrong and you should check your thinking otherwise you run the risk of assumed intelligence. If you've taken that personally - too bad. you've just confirmed what I thought. you are a bit too emiotnally sensitive to pass judgement. Signs are for everyone not just one person.

[theTosh]

Good - you lost.

[watzegjemedaarnouvan]

This is not about winning and loosing. I think your reaction is hillarious. You are taking my remark personally in stead of merely going on discussing what signs should do and shouldn\t do. This is not about what I am like, or who you are. I was interested in discussing the (mis)use of signs. Your presentation was not bad at all. Signs ARE for everyone. They are also a controlling tool. Critique is good for us, your presentation and me. And also for society. You may disagree. Fine.

[theTosh]

I don't think you know how YouTube works. I didn't post the video. It's not my presentation. Read those last two sentances again. Then have a think about my comment on intelligence.

[watzegjemedaarnouvan]

Okay silly me that didn´t check who you were. For the rest of it: I disagree. I find no reason to defend myself. Have a great weekend.

[Wulfereene]

Thank your for that example, I just heared about PK and wanted to find out more, and your presentation is a good demonstration. But it also points out a problem of the method: When there is a strong connection between the explanation and the images, the presentation suffers badly when the speaker lags behind. It needs very precise timing, otherwise the people get really irritated when you still talk about the last slide and already show the next one.

[macscotchale]

good talk, but

it's not "peh-CHAch-ka"

but rather "peh-CHAK-cha

[TheVirtualOne]

Thanks! I love learning new strategies and this is new for me! I love it and I can't wait to use it!

[jeffkorhan]

This is how Powerpoint should be used. I don't personally adhere to the time limit per slide. However, the point of letting the image silently "speak" WITH the speaker - not in place of - is what this presentation skill is all about in my mind. Jeff Korhan

[blackhairlily]

woohoo.just upload my first clip Pecha Kucha presentation!!! i am excited LOL.

[54Plasma]

Hey there

I'm currently across from the UK working in DC for a month, and was interested to learn you are also here. Do some presentation work myself and loved both your talk and content.

Thanks

David

[vanchunyin]

Thank you very much, that gave me an idea how I'm going to prepare and what I should put into my Pecha Kucha presentation.

[bradiscool500]

remember there were 8 minute abs, then 7 minute abs? well, i've invented 18 slides shown for 18 seconds each. go fuck yourselves, 20 slides for 20 seconds! haha

[WealthyLiving]

This was my introduction to Pecha Kucha and I loved it. The subject matter had a lot to do with that though. Great job!

On another note, my vid titled "Reading is Fundemental" clearly isn't Pecha Kucha. Since I'm not familiar with this topic, does anyone know if that particular video falls into any presentation classification?

[jdm1051]

Is "Fundamental" supposed to be misspelled?

[WealthyLiving]

no. thank you for pointing that out

[spiraltraining]

Just posted a video response ... you say towards the start of your video, Daniel, that doing a PK on PK is too post-modern for you...... so I got all post modern and did it instead! Thanks for inspiring me!

[maxygbabes]

Hey im doing a pechakucha for my university project. I hate to sound much smarter than i am but i thought that it had to be 20seconds on each slide. Your speech sort of rolls into the next one so it isnt really 20seconds perslide, its more like 6mins 40 seconds of speech with images that change every 20 seconds.

[tehblunderbuss]

Exactly what it should be.

It isn't: blah blah blah about this slide. Ok next slide. Blah blah blah about this slide. Next slide.

Pecha-kucha is like speed golf of presentation, I gather.

[practicaleq]

Ahem! "exquisitely matched words and images"

[practicaleq]

Sorry - that was supposed to be a reply to 'tehblunderbuss's comment but came out in the wrong place for some reason...

[LenEdgerly]

Terrific! I finished your book last week and was very impressed. Insightful, useful, and playful. Thanks!

[cuddo]

It's great. I love this 20x20 method as well as your empathy signs idea!

[lewisian]

And let us not forget the most emotionally intelligent sign of all time (IMHO) - a book cover that reads "DON'T PANIC" in large friendly letters... a book used by people likely to find themselves in some most difficult and stressful situations in the Galaxy... :-) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...

[Kattiatv]

Terrible!

I loved your article

Your video here was a dissapontment

:-(

[xaozxaoz]

Aaarggh.. It's Pecha-kucha, NOT "pechachka"!!!!

[cuddo]

Wrong! U is an almost silent vowel in Japanese. So it indeed sounds more like pecha-kcha than pecha-kooocha.

[Cadelfwch]

Great info, especially as I make signs.

[daddytypes]

dude, it's pecha kucha, not pecha chuka

[stephengiem]

i'm digesting your book, over and over again. it's been two years since you've spoken at the art center in pasadena, thanks so much dan!
