If you havent listened to our interview with Duarte Designs Nancy Duarte. youa re missing out on some interesting content. I came across this clever little video today from Duarte on the Slide:ology Blog. (Which is a blog that goes along with the book!) Pretty fun stuff!
Want an easy foundation to follow for your executives presentations? This is something I learned a while back from Guy Kawasaki. Try the 10/20/30 rule. Simply put it means a maximum of 10 slides, no more than 20 minutes and contains no font smaller than 30 points.
I think Guy learned this from Garr Reynolds and I also saw our recent Meetings Podcast interview guest Nancy Duarte talking about.
Its a simple rule that will work wonders for your presenters and better yet for your presenters audience.
Give it a try! Or contact me at GrassShack and I will be happy to help- Mike
I caught this post of Steve Jobs on the Presentation Zens blog this morning. As Garr said it is interesting on how Steve talks about the market, competition, sales, challenges and solutions. Engaging the audience with the questions “Who is our target customer? Why are they selecting our product over the competition’s? What distribution channels are we going to use?” It is great to see how Steve has evolved his presentations. Its also pretty fun to watch. Also gives us some inspiration that even if something does not work out as expected (like the company he is talking about) you still can go on to build great things.

I got this from a really cool blog called Presentation Zen. It is a Youtube video of Carmine Gallo on learning from Steve Jobs.
One thing I tell clients over and over again: You are spending money to get this audience in that venue so why not give them a memorable production to leave with. This video shows you some simple steps to add to your speech.
