Every day, so many tens of thousands of innocent clients and employees are bored to tears by presentations that it ought to be considered a crime against humanity.
Are your presentations guilty of the following sins?
In presenting to your boss, keep the goals he's set for you and the bigger picture in mind. In presenting to staffers, reinforce the positive reasons why they should be paying attention.
You might not get a knock on your door from Sony music or Scott Adams (the guy that writes Dilbert), but if your boss or client is sensitive about protecting intellectual property and is reasonably savvy, you could (at best) end up embarrassing yourself and at worst lose a major account.
If you find it difficult to bring your presentations over from the dark side, consider enlisting the services of a professional. K Lorette Communications has years of experience in copywriting, graphic design and in working with PowerPoint.
