Just found a very interesting site about presentations. As you may or may not know, I do love presentations. Always gives a nice adrenaline kick standing there in front of people not knowing what kind of questions the will fire at you and how you can duck, dodge or fire back.
However, I also dislike most of the presentation slides I have seen for one simple reason: they try to be slides and hand-out at the same time. That’s a No-No. The slides will be crammed with back-up material (to remind you of what to say in case you forget – in the worst case even in prose) and the reader of the hand-out will still not understand it. Instead, make two versions and keep the slides simple. No, even simpler. ;)
And in case that you want to know more about presentation styles and tricks, go to Presentation Zen which was actually my reason to write this entry.
The stage is yours!
