Grandomastery Random PRESENTATION Activity – Blind-Slide Improv Mastery for C1–C2+ Executive Presence

The gold-standard of spontaneous presentation training: a serious, high-stakes theme appears (e.g., “The Future of Trust in Decentralised Systems”, “Why Boredom Is the New Luxury”). You press START and begin speaking. Every 15–40 seconds you click “next” and a completely random, uncurated slide from Stanford’s 1M+ academic archive appears (often bizarre, irrelevant, or hilariously off-topic). You must instantly weave it into your ongoing argument with total conviction and natural flow. Advance slides blindly, maintain natural flow despite odd or irrelevant content, and end the session via the "finish" button. Unlike PowerPoint karaoke games like battle decks or Deck Dazzle, Grandomastery emphasizes non-AI improvisation and presenter skill over slide quality. In today's world, delivering convincing presentations is a core competency across fields—and this activity turns it into a fun pub-style game.

The result is a 6–10-minute tour de force that sounds like a TED-level keynote delivered by someone who can sell ice to a blizzard.

Key Skills Developed (True C2+ / Executive Level)

  • Masterful real-time narrative weaving & story transportation under visual chaos

  • Advanced/proficient executive English – seamless transition phrases, rhetorical escalation, and audience-inclusive language on the fly

  • Cognitive slide-judo – turning any image disasters into compelling evidence within seconds

  • Performative nonchalance & crisis charisma – never breaking poise no matter how absurd the slide

  • Thematic coherence under fire – maintaining one clear red thread while hijacking every visual

  • Instant visual–verbal metaphor creation – making a random pie chart feel like the perfect illustration

  • Audience-holding authority – commanding respect and attention even when the deck is sabotaging you


Core Theoretical Principles This Activity Is Built On

  1. Theatresports “Yes, And” + Status Mastery – total acceptance of every slide raises presenter status to god-tier

  2. Oblique Strategies & Provocation Operations (de Bono/Eno) – random irrelevant input is the fastest creativity trigger

  3. Flow-State Public Speaking – constant surprise keeps the brain in the optimal challenge–skill zone for peak performance


Used daily by Fortune-500 leadership programmes, top-tier MBA presentation courses, and C2 examiners as the single most effective drill for unbreakable executive presence and near-native improvisational brilliance.
