Presentation Genius Manifesto – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/presentation-genius-manifesto
Because presentations can change the world – or at least your little bit of it. Take a look around you: there’s a lot wrong with the world. On the big political scale, internationally and globally, at your local and regional level, in your school, your church or mosque or synagogue, or whatever. Frankly there is bound to be something at work that could be better. Sometimes you need to step up to the plate and say something. And “ Presentations. Presentations are all about changing something. We might not...

Christmas – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/christmas
We use a real tree, but this is a great non-real one if you prefer those! What, you wanted a blog about making better presentations? This close to Christmas? It would just have been full of corny jokes about presents-vs-presentations. I’ve got a better idea…. Get offline. Find friends you’ve not told recently how much they matter to you, then tell them. Then find your other friends and tell them. Wish people Happy Christmas. Find a good thing to do, and do it. And stop worrying about presentations.

Marine Haiku – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/marine-haiku
One of my pet peeves when I’m training people in making awesome presentations is that when I ask the, they don’t know what they’re presentation is for. I get waffly answers relating to what it’s about, but that’s not the same thing at all. See this big, bad post. About a quarter of the way down that post, I give you an exercise to help figure out what you’re trying to achieve in your presentation, and I suggest trying to write a Tweet. But I’ve found a better way! Well, if not better, at least more fun!

Handouts and followups for your presentations. Enter Talkbook – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/handouts-and-followups-for-your-presentations-enter-talkbook
Handouts and followups for your presentations. Enter Talkbook. Slides make bad handouts. On top of that, if you speak in public (rather than internally only, as part of your work – such as reporting to boss etc) the money is in the list, as they say. You’d do well to collect email addresses. Getting cards is embarrassing and sign-up forms at the back of a room misses most people. Here’s how it works (once you’ve registered as a user, which takes very little time). In practice, it’s easier than that...

Targeting your presentations – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/targeting-your-posts
Right then… let’s face it. Most presentations fail because (as I’ve said until I’m blue in the face! Presenters don’t know what it is they’re trying to do. I’ve posted about that before and I’ll post about it again next week but here are the basics. Decide what effect you want to have in your presentation. Decide who you need to influence to make that happen. Decide what you need to say to these people to make it happen. Use that information to target your presentation. Sounds simple, right? As George Or...

About me (and a bit about the book) – Better presentations
http://presentationgenius.info/about
About me (and a bit about the book). I got interested in how things were explained when we had to try and get the basics of, say, 18 months of research into the head of politicians and policy-makers who hadn’t been involved in the research. Sometimes in the back of a taxi. Sometimes in a report. But always in clear, non-technical ways… but ways which allowed for no mis-understanding. I hope you enjoy it!
