Very interesting. As for the tree, I can totally understand why people would ask about it. You've almost anthropomorphized the tree by comparing it to a sumo wrestler and then describing your wrestling match. You seal the deal at the end where it takes pity on you and falls over. I would definitely want to know that the tree survived the ordeal after all it went through to get to its new home! I dig the Russell Crowe joke.

You really need to put yourself in the shoes of the audience and "see" the presentation through their eyes to accurately determine this. Another reason that audience analysis is so critical.

Principle #3 is one I struggle with in my business presentations the most. I try to remember what Einstein said -"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." I really appreciate the before and after example - Great post. The six principles you highlight are all excellent points. Principle #3 is one I struggle with in my business presentations the most.
