Presentations (creating and evaluating)
1) Figure out their story (understand)
2) Assess credibility (bias, competence)
3) Write down domain statement
-- What is this relevant to?
-- What leverage does it give?
4) Stop abbreviating the truth
Use PowerPoint only as a projection software
Use Word to write presentations
- What the problem is
- Why it is important
- What is the solution
No executive grunts (abbreviated/incomplete sentences)
- People can read faster than you can talk
