- 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.

The importance of message delivery
From a source we don’t often hear a lot from. The military.
Approximately three days ago, I put together a PowerPoint briefing for my commander. It had the right info, but was not displayed in the proper manner. It’s a lesson I have learned on this staff, and over the last six years in general: How you present information is often just as important as the information you present. When it comes to this job, if your audience, be it your boss or soldiers under you, don’t understand the information you are trying to send across, they might make a decision based on the information they thought they heard, and it can cost lives.
In case you missed it:
How you present information is often just as important as the information you present.
There’s a joke in here about bullets, but I’m going to leave it for someone else.
Thanks VisualBeing.
