Making presentations that stick
April 11, 2010
Example: The Girl Effect
Below is the YouTube version of the Girl Effect, the sample that Dan mentioned in the video. (Go here for the high-rez version on the Girl Effect website.
NOTE: Presentation at Apple Store in Ginza (Tokyo) this Tuesday (4-13)
I am working with Apple right now to see if I can present in the London store in mid-June. If there is interest in UK, I'd love to swing by. I'll let you know.
Wow, timely! I'm in the middle of creating a wireless security presentation and this post just made me rethinking the way I am talking about antennas. I'm now strongly leaning towards scrapping a few boring slides for a simple demonstration using balloons (yes, real balloons).
Thanks for the timely reminder to keep things simple!

Yes please. I'll get on a train down from the so sunny Cotswolds to see newdadGarr.

Be delighted if you could make it to London - be nice to be able to show that the UK can do a throng just as well as Japan!

Couldn't agree more and that was the exactly subject of a post on my blog, too, just a few days ago. Great books by the Heath brothers.

Am sure I'm not alone in wishing you could present in a NYC Apple Store!!!

London would be great. Is there anywhere we can go to let apple know we'd be interested in you as a speaker?

Garr - any plans for Melbourne in the forseeable future?

Just wondering - is the solution to make better powerpoints, or maybe just to throw it out altogether. Recently, in a pitch, a colleague suggested that in Powerpoint, you turn off the lights - and miss the eye contact. He advocated for printed boards.
I'm a powerpoint junky... but I'm giving this some serious consideration.
