I first saw this presentation on the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) site a short while back. It must be one of the best examples of using passion for a subject, combined with simplicity, to deliver a message. This presentation by Bill Strickland was filmed during February 2002 but only recently uploaded at TED.
I spend an extra ordinate amount of time either giving or attending presentations all over the world on a wide range of subjects. The saying “death by powerpoint” is something I fully understand and have suffered through more than just a few times, possibly even contributed. Luckily a great array of information is available to help “Powerpoint killers” . Alexei Kapterev has created the excellent presentation below that brings a simple message across quite effectively, bad presentations normally suffer from a lack of :
Significance
Structure
Simplicity
Rehearsal
A bit ironic is it not, a presentation on presentations ..
