More Slides

A great presentation should hold your attention from the very first word . It should convey the contents to the audience presuming they know little but not take them for granted at the same time. It should make you think, raise questions in your head, try to answer them yourself and then look forward to the next slide.Having been to hundreds of and delivering a few of them, the thin line of demarcation between grades of presentations actually becomes much clearer. I sat through one of the best talks of my life this afternoon. Suddenly the grass seemed greener, the skies bluer and the science more familiar.

Behind fantastic presentations lie minimal words, simple explanations, visual representation, eye contact, acknowledgement, punctuality, sincerity and a smile on the face. Practice does make a lot perfect.
