OT for here, but one of my major gripes, presentations with slides. The audience has only got a limited cognitive capability, put up complex slides and they stop listening to what you are saying. You should use slides only for showing things you are talking about, photos, simple obvious graphs etc. And none of those need complex slide software. Don't use slides to repeat your words, and worst of all don't slide in lines as you say them, all the audience will remember is the condensed version on the slide, not what you actually said.
See Tedx videos for some good examples. Ok, rant over :) Cheers Lex On 17 May 2015 at 07:52, Dan Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > Your timing is fortunate.
