The Art and Science of good Presentation
DISCLAIMER
There is NO Magic Bullet that can solve your presentation
woes. The ideas that will be discussed today are from my
experiences and are also inspired from the interactions I
had with some of the great presenters of our lifetime.

Please be advised that I cannot guarantee that these ideas
will work 100% of the time. The speaker must use wise
judgment and instinct to use what works at the right time.
Do not just Present

The Fascination towards

         Bullet Point
Why not to use bullet point ?

 • It makes the presentation
   boring

 • It does not engage the audience

 • It makes presentation look more
   like a document that is read

Don't Just Present, Enchant !

Editor's Notes

  1. This unfortunate slide reportedly comes from a presentation by Jan Baan, founder and chairman of vendor Cordys. Granted, an "SOA Grid" can be an esoteric topic, but instead of understanding the end game, we're left with trying to figure out how to get in the game. Marketing and presentation guru Seth Godin called this the "worst PowerPoint slide ever used by a CEO."

  6. Bill Gates in the Clouds PowerPoint slides are there to help presenters solidify the point they are trying to make -- not to confuse the audience with tons of logos, computing hardware images and arrows pointing here, there and everywhere. Bill, let us guess: You're alluding to "cloud computing"? Experts universally say: Keep the images to a minimum (like, one image per slide) and keep the text as brief as possible.Snooze Scale: ZZZZ (Bill, you should know better.)
