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.

That Lawrence Lessig guy has it down

I just wrote about the Lessig Method of presentation in a recent Liberty Life news post. The style makes use of a rapid fire visual component that works well both to keep the audience attentive, and the presenter on their toes.

This style is not for everyone, and probably not for all occasions, but is well worth looking into. Garr has a write-up here, and you can view samples of Lessig himself (well, his preso as an audio driven flash file) and Dick Hardt applying the method. I also had the pleasure of watching Seth Godin brilliantly applying the thinking (as I don’t think he knew about the method as such) at TED Global in Oxford last year.

It’s quite a leap from the traditional, but one we’d really like to help you take…!
