Presenting is about storytelling, not the slides themselves. The speaker should focus on telling their story, not just reading the slides. Effective presentations are driven by a compelling story, not a series of bullet points on slides.

How to Tell a Story With Your Google Analytics DataJeff Sauer
If you are sending reports without adding insight, you are part of the problem. Ain't nobody got time for that crap. It's time that you start to increase the collective knowledge of your organization. It's time that you start telling a story with the data that you collect.
How do we get there? First, we need to start by understanding the data we collect. But quickly, it is time to turn that data into information. Creating information from data is actually pretty easy. Even a computer can do it with great accuracy.
Quickly after you create information, it needs to be turned into a narrative that others can understand. It needs to be turned into a story!
This presentation shows how to take data and information and turn it into knowledge that can be understood throughout your entire organization. This is how we form institutional knowledge, and how we make ourselves better as marketers.
This presentation was delivered at SMX Munich 2015. Here is the original session description:
Had enough of Copy & Paste? Internal Storytelling with Data and Reports
Your reports don’t need to be boring or mind-numbing. If you succeed in the qualitative display of quantitative information, your reports will get the attention they deserve. In this session, we show you how to visualize your data and consistently communicate your value. This is how information becomes knowledge.

GT Spotter is a user interface that unifies the search workflow in an IDE. This set of slides was used for a submission at the ESUG 2015 Innovation Awards.
I watched 1800+ TED talks. I watched all those published on ted.com. Why? Because I am a TED addict. And because each of these talks reminds me that storytelling is essential in everything we do.
Facts are important, but facts alone have no value. They have to be consumed to worthwhile. Stories make this happen by getting us involved. This applies to researching novel ways, it applies to creating products, it applies to leading people, it applies to educating kids, and it applies to marriage proposals. Essentially, it applies to anything worth doing.
Storytelling is what makes stories happen. But, storytelling is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learnt.
For example, an easy way to learn is to listen to good examples. Like TED talks. But, there are many ways to learn. And, there are even more ways to apply.
It only takes us to invest in it. Why?
Because storytelling is essential.
Moose: how to solve real problems without reading codeTudor Girba
I use this set of slides for a talk I gave at ESUG 2014.
Abstract:
Moose is a platform for software and data analysis (http://moosetechnology.org). It runs on Pharo and it can help you figure out problems around software systems.
In this talk, I show several real-life examples of how custom tools built on top of Moose helped solve concrete problems. The examples vary both in scope and in the kind of problems. For example, we talk about how we fixed a caching problem in a Java system by analyzing logs, or how we fixed a Morphic problem by means of visualization and interaction. Even if these problems are so different, all of them were solvable with one uniform set of programmable tools.
That is the power of Moose, and it is now at the fingertips of any Pharo programmer.
We cannot continue to let systems loose in the wild without any concern for how we will deal with them at a later time. Two decades ago, Richard Gabriel coined the idea of software habitability. Indeed, given that engineers spend a significant part of their active life inside software systems, it is desirable for that system to be suitable for humans to live there.
We go further and introduce the concept of software environmentalism based on a simple principle: Engineers have the right to build upon assessable systems and have the responsibility of producing assessable systems.
The emergent nature of software systemsTudor Girba
This slideshow offers an argument for how the structure of a software system has an inherently emergent nature.
