Haiku for Public Speakers

A half-dozen haiku for your reading pleasure:

• You are the message.
  Public speaking need not be
  Death by PowerPoint.

• Tell them what you’ll say.
  Story. Point. Repeat three times.
  Tell them what you said.

• Ten – Twenty – Thirty.
  Guy Kawasaki guides us
  To receive applause.

• Image hurricane.
  One idea at a time.
  Ninety Lessig slides.

• Gripping the lectern.
  Words all forgotten. No notes.
  Terror realized.

• Cluttered images?
  Apply the master’s wisdom -
  Presentation Zen.
