    Slide #21 is my favorite. The “Wow” starts now somehow does not come out in the faces or postures of anyone on that stage. Classic MS …

    Interesting that his ppt is 61 slides. Most will get ‘lost’ after the first 15.

    I enjoy the presentation of the PowerPoint but I find there is too much clicking between 61 slides… maybe it’s just me. I get distracted pretty easy.

    Wasn’t the author’s point that making three points is crucial. What were his 3 points? I got lost and can’t find them in the 61 slides…

    My friend and mentor, Cliff Atkinson, exposes the process of clarifying our thinking and simplifying PPTs in his book, “Beyond Bullet Points.” I recommend it highly, even if Microsoft did publish it for him (grin). It’s stunning in its clarity.

    Everything can’t be said in 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 45 minutes, but I believe we owe it to audiences to decide how much we’re trying to give them at once and limit our presentations accordingly.

    I really like this powerpoint and the point it makes about being passionate when you present something.

    Thanks for bringing it in here.

    [on a sidenote, i find it interesting that we can import a powerpoint presentation from someone else and make it a lesson]

    Guy Kawasaki came to campus last year and gave the 10/20/30 Rule of Powerpoint presentation. I thought it was one of the best guides for developing slides. See his blog post: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2005/12/the_102030_rule.html

    He talks about it in context of a VC pitch, but I think the rule could apply to nearly any presentation scenario.

    Quite impressive lesson. The “rules” make sense, but I think the most important thing to focus on is the actual audience. I would suggest that analyzing your actual audience and building a presentation for them as opposed to building one for your own goals will likely result in a better overall presentation. At least it will be accepted and embraced more.

    “Haben Sie etwas zu sagen, oder haben Sie Powerpoint?!” Sehr gut!
