spear point The world’s most simple analogy for a decent presentation… :)

The presentation is the tip of the spear. Sure, it’s the bit people notice and are frightened of (the spear-tip, not the presentation!) but it’s useless without

  • the shaft – the backup in terms of designing and researching your presentation; getting the audience’s key interests sorted out and so on; and
  • the throw to hit the enemy – the skill with which you actually deliver your presentation.

    • Don’t just concentrate on the tip! Get the other things right first: you can’t attach a spear-tip to a shaft that isn’t their or is bent…

      A little blog post with a big, no huge message!

      Question is: how many will see the importance of what you are saying and implement it?
