A Few Thoughts on Presentations

• Always put yourself in the shoes of your audience.
• Prepare for the obvious questions. [Consider why that is important.]
• Don't start a presentation unless you have the time to do it properly.
• Generalizations need examples to bring them into focus.
• Examples, once they begin to multiply, need generalizations to link them together. 
• Any slide which does not strengthen or clarify the message should be omitted.
• The same goes for examples.
• It is better to pass on giving a presentation than to give one when you are not ready. [Anyone who has done otherwise will know what I mean.]
• Never try to portray a penguin as a peacock. Your credibility will become a dodo.
