POOR PRESENTATIONS

To sum up what poor isamong other thingsNone of us want to deliver a bad presentation and we have all sat through enough horrible ones to know that it is possible. Our worst nightmare is looking out into the audience and seeing a sea of glossed over eyes, people checking their cell phones and the rest counting ceiling tiles. This doesnt happen by accident, so dont let this happen to you! While there are no universal formulas to delivering a presentation, aside from the tremendous amount of advice and angles to deliver a spectacular one, avoid the following at all costs. Nothing kills the mood more than waiting twenty minutes for a presenter to work through their technical issues. Get to the presentation room at least an hour before people arrive and make sure any equipment youll be using is in good working order. Make sure to plan for the worst and always have a backup plan! Technology has come a long way, but its still not 100% reliable when you need it to be.BAD PRESENTATIONS 101
