Presenting and Public Speaking Do’s and Don’ts…

Jon Thomas said I would accept it if they had said "Bad" PowerPoint. Sadly, I think some people have never seen good PowerPoint, so the "bad" modifier is redundant to them.

“# 6: Do not use Powerpoint (or “bullets”) at all” Hey…that’s a low blow. I get the bullet points, but PowerPoint itself isn’t the problem. I would accept it if they had said “Bad” PowerPoint.

That aside, this is a GREAT post and I appreciate the time you took to make the data more easily consumed. There are some great tips in there and anyone who presents in any way should know these by heart.

One response that jumped out at me when looking at the raw data was, “Talk TO me, not AT me.” So so important to realize that presenting is a two-way conversation.

Thanks Andrew and Chris! I’m going to be incorporating your survey results into a module on presentation skills in which I teach.
