Oscar is a fellow in this band of presentation podcast fellows,
which includes many wonderful people (see also: Lea Pica)! We support
each other. So, when Oscar let me know that he’s starting a
crowd-funding campaign for his next book called “Giving a
Killer Technical Presentation” and wondered if we could
talk about what that means… I thought two things: 1) what is a
technical presentation? And 2) You bet! Oscar is the podcast host
of Time to Shine, an interview-based podcast about public
speaking, and he has been studying and is now speaking about what
it means to give a killer technical presentation – the likes of
Steve Jobs and Guy Kawasaki.
I have to admit: these kinds of presentations aren't normally my
jam. The selling - the 'reveal' - but I'm reminded in watching
these and talking with Oscar how important they've been to us as a
culture. Taking our ideas and turning them into realities. Sharing
IDEAS as much as they are a commercial. When done right, they are
about more than the stuff.
