How To Make An Excellent Presentation

If advice can be taken from anyone, Tom Peters at www.tompeters.com certainly leads the list.
For years he has worked to learn and teach leadership and management skills. In May of 2005, Tom summarized what it takes to give an excellent and effective presentation.
In his free PowerPoint download, he touches on 56 points that will guide any manager or supervisor to a persuasive presentation.
Here a few of his points:
- Give a compelling “Story line.”
- Have enough data to sink a tanker with 98% in reserve.
- Know your information from memory and be able to manipulate it in your head.
- Be “in command” but don’t “show off” (if you’re brilliant they’ll figure it out for themselves).
- If you don’t know something … ADMIT IT! (this is actually a good thing — as opposed to appearing as a “know it all”.)
- Assume that you may be cut off at any moment, and be prepared to give on the spot a compelling 30-second to one-minute (no longer!)Brilliant Summary including Sales Pitch.
- … and many more.
