Welcome to Missing Link's Preso Master Class.
The entire programme lasts about 1 minute.
You will be tested, so pay attention.

There's more, but if you can get these right, you're well on your way.
Of course, if you really do want more info, see below or feel free to download and read our Attention Spam tutorial. Check back often for updates, or subscribe to the feed. More preso tips on Twitter.

Class dismissed...!

  • Rule #1Make sure you enjoy your presentation more than your audience does, no matter how detailed or serious the content.
  • Rule #2Serious is fine. Boring is not.
  • Rule #3Most people prefer to listen to words, and see pictures.
    Be nice to those people.
  • Rule #4You are the presentation. Prepare for every preso under the assumption that your visual aids won't work. If you need slides only to enhance your message, you'll design them more efficiently.
  • Rule #5Presentation is storytelling, stories are fun, knock yourself out.

Extra! Extra!

Here’s a nice visual-aid tip from Doc Searls:

Think of your presentation as a series of newspaper stories, each the length of one slide. Without room for long copy, only three things matter. They’re the same three things you get from a 3-second read of the lead story in a newspaper: headline, picture and caption.

And that’s only if you’re feeling generous, often just a picture or headline alone is enough…!
