I must say this guy hits the right spot most of the time. He has some interesting ideas and puts them across effectively. This advice could be pretty radical to many of us who have done presentations which essentially means reading off the slides. "words belong in memos. Powerpoint is for ideas. If you have bullets, please, please, please only use one word in each bullet. Two if you have to. Three never."
And I agree with this totally:
"Short! Do you really need an hour for the presentation? Twenty minutes? Most of the time, the right answer is, "ten." Ten minutes of breathtaking big ideas with big pictures and big type and few words and scary thoughts and startling insights. And then, and then, spend the rest of your time just talking to me. Interacting. Answering questions. Leading a discussion."
