The Art of a Non-Sucky Presentation
Read Melanie Pinola’s take from Lifehacker on ways to master creating presentations that don’t suck, I lifted some key insights together for you here.
- Presentation going on forever? Feel like you haven’t achieved anything—either as presenter or as the audience member? All signs of a sucky presentation
- Simplify your slides; don’t crowd it with notes that you’re going to say aloud anyway, not that you should be reading from your slides anyway 🙂
- Forego the clipart and clichés; aim for other ways to communicate ideas—think ‘outside the box’—ha-ha
- Whittle down your slide information—if you can’t convey it within 3 seconds it’s taking too long
