The ultimate presentation

Designing presentations has always been fun. Normally we write, add, delete, edit and finally arrive at what seems to be our best effort. This is after losing a night's sleep and sipping lots of coffee. What makes the presentation, which is a 10 minute affair in most cases, so important? What should it contain to attract attention and drive home your point? Lets see...

• Make is as visually appealing as possible
• Use fewer words(best presentations have 40 words in 10 slides)
• Check each slide, header, point if it is absolutely necessary
• Avoid repetitions
• 'Create' the template yourself or check for an apt one
• Deliver it yourself dynamically
• High energy, movement, attitude, dress... everything matters
• Lend your personality to the presentation (it always contributes. Why not shape it?)
• Get a critical view before you actually present
• Practice, rehearse
• Smile

Have a lot of confidence in the topic and area of presentation. You are ready to rock!
