What Makes a Good Presentation?
You may have heard about Guy Kawasaki's 10-20-30 rule: "A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points." Yet, many hit presentations don't even come close to making that rule. So forget the hard and fast rules. It's about your presence, your topic and your audience.
 * Tell a story.
 * Contain lots of powerful visuals.
 * Use few words.
 * Toss most of the bullet points.
