A low-tech change-up can make your message stand out

At a recent conference, I had the pleasure of watching a presenter deliver an elegantly tailored 90-minute PowerPoint presentation. Anyone who has ever stood on a stage for that long knows this is no small feat.

Although presenters can be guilty of many offenses, the worst by far is inflicting on others that barbaric atrocity known as "Death by PowerPoint."

The Attention Deficit

Constant interruption is an almost unavoidable part of corporate life these days. As a presenter, how do you cut through the clutter and connect with today's audiences who are driven to distraction?

Perfect practice

"If only I'd had more time to practice," goes the common post-presentation lament. But, as Dave Zielinski reports, the difference between a mediocre presentation and a memorable one is more a function of how you practice, not how much.

If you're like many presenters, the end of a presentation signals the start of your brilliant hindsight. If only I hadn't stumbled over that key phrase. If only I had handled that question a bit more deftly or found more compelling data to support my message. And of course, one of the most common post-presentation laments, if only I'd had more time to practice.

The truth is, no amount of preparation time is enough. Allot one month to develop and practice for a big presentation and in the post-mortem, you wish it would have been two.
