I got some spam recently asking if I wanted to join (yet another!) networking site. I’m a cynic about these things but I thought I’d poke around anyway. The jury’s out but that’s not what caught my eye. In a blog entry here there’s a great phrase which caught my imagination for networking and presenting.
It’s a simple idia – painfully simple. Your presentation should xplain things as though you were explaining them to my mum. If you can’t do that you’re not in the ballpark. Either your trying to do far, far too much in a presentation or you don’t really understand what you’ve got to say.
Perhaps a bit harsh, but you know what I mean…
….. and nor do you know my mother! :)
