can show you a hundred slides to tell
you that 1+1=2
6. Rule #1
Here are the 4 rules to make a
presentation you can bring with you at
the fashion week
9. TEDception
Most important thing :
don’t tell people what you
want them to understand.
It’s an old-fashion way of
doing speeches.
10. Use metaphores
Always.
Your metaphore should be mysterious enough
so that smart people think : « Wow this guy is
so smart he’s using a metaphore ! »
But not too far, so that the stupiest guy in the
audience could say : « I guess I see his point »
12. Use Quotes
« Of course » (Othello, Act II, scene 1)
As much as you can.
The more older they are, the
more prestige you’ll get.
13. Top 5 best authors to quote
#1 Sun Tzu
#2 T.Jefferson
#3 Lao Tseu
#4 A.Einstein
#5 N.Copernicus
Here’s the list of the top 5 quoted
authors.
Sun Tzu has been so much quoted
that he’s almoust quoted out !
Because this guy only wrote a single
book of 100 pages. That’s not
enough for all presentations in the
world.
Now it became like Jeff Buckley’s
records : some people are actually
planning to print some unreleased
books of Sun Tzu !
15. standup comedy
&
story-telling
You think you’re watching an
academic presentation of the
last Nobel prize ? but it’s Chris
Rock on stage !
I’m sure Steeve Jobs use to hire
some joke’s makers to write his
lines for his keynote’s speeches.
Actually, I did pay Adam Sandler
to write this one.
16. If you can’t afford some
funny jokes, paste any comic
strip from xkcd, dilbert, The
Simpsons or Peanuts.

How to stay alive :

Don’t say anything too
complicated

22. “According to most studies, people's number one fear is public
speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound
right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're
better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” Jerry Seinfeld
