Working on a presentation.

Making a presentation? Starting off with preparing one? Here are some tips to get you on the right track...

JUST GET ON WITH IT
When you want to make a presentation, just open Powerpoint or Powerbullet or any other software and start typing. This will ensure that you start in the middle and end up in the river without knowing swimming. If you have no plan, the war is already lost. Who cares if, without a POA ( plan of action) you are DOA ( Dead on arrival)?

RECYCLE
When you have an old, borrowed or stolen presentation that worked or may work or could work , reuse it. Thats a great way to just get it over with. It doesn't matter if you look like a burbling fish being strangled by an octopus. Your audience is asking questions and you don't know why something has been put on the slide. Recycling will get you a promotion, as your organisation is fully environment-conscious.

MAKE IT SOPORIPHIC
Put your audience to sleep. With all the work they have been putting in, they suffer from insomnia. Read each slide, one by one, word for word, without explaining anything. Lull your audience to sleep. Best of all, no one can say - they didnt like it!!!


JAZZ IT
Your presentation software had such great features. Use all of them. Your audience will just love it. They will queue up afterwards to ask you, just how you achieved that particular effect. The one that blinded and dazzled them so much that they didn't notice what you were droning on about. Hide your noise by cranking up the jazz levels.

DATABASE-IT
Your presentation should have every possible information required by everyone from the watchman to the door knob to the CFO to the guy who joined yesterday. Cover every subject, under the sun, so that you never run out of material. Put in all the sales statistics from 1777 to date. Add in the projection for next 100 years just for effect. Dare anyone to ask a question which is not already covered. ...atleast on slide number 787. Yes, ofcourse the presentation was supposed to be only for half an hour....
