Ten Ways to Make a Better Presentation:

by Laura Fitton on May 9, 2007

1. Define both your objectives and your audience. Thoroughly.

2. Open strong, maintain interest, close strong

3. Organize, organize, organize; then practice, practice practice

4. Match the message to the medium to the audience

5. “Script” it by speaking, not by writing (use a coach or a scribe)

6. Use visual gimmicks and effects sparingly, if at all

7. Clarity: Discern between what you can vs. should include

8. Communicate, DO NOT RECITE

9. Arrive early, finish early

10. YOU are the EXPERT – own your subject

Bonus: Some great presentation rants from the blogosphere… Kathy Sierra, Ririan Project (via Lifehacker), Bert Decker , Presentation Zen on the “Lessig Method”, Guy Kawasaki, cazh1 ‘s roundup of articles
