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.

If Satan built a website...

This would be it.

Slideshare is a site where presenters can upload their slides for others to view. This angers me.

People, generally speaking if your audience can understand your slides without you present, the slides are over-populated (and you’re obsolete).

Slide shows with too much text are the killer of good presentations. If you want people to read, send them home with the book, you’ll be saving everyone time.

A video (or even audio) clip featuring the speaker is a far better idea, and If you really want to include your slides you could consider the c-box.

What worries me the most though is that intelligent people that I have the utmost respect for, think it’s a good idea.

Scary…!
