Starting strong is important because it only takes a few seconds for people to decide whether or not to follow you

How can you present your ideas in a way that will be remembered? There are three elements to consider. 

For a message to stick it has to be novel. 

You can have the greatest idea in the world and the slides of the century but if you can’t communicate your ideas, it doesn’t matter. And it’s negligent, because you deny the world of something of great value.

The New York subway map is geographically complete, accurate and detailed while the map of the London tube is based on fiction. Which one works best and why?

Can technical presentations be more visual? Totally!  

A PowerPoint slide contains on average 40 words. With such an average the reason why most presentations are boring is quite obvious.

An animation is useful only if it helps your listeners better understand your message. If it doesn't, it becomes a distraction. When in doubt, leave it out. 

Your audience will remember you if you give a great presentation, not because you’ve included a repetitive element on each slide.
