All over

the world

presentations

are

getting

better.

Page 3: Presentations still suck here

There’s a new awareness thanks to these people…

Death by PowerPointAlexei Kapterev

Page 5: Presentations still suck here

It’s really nothing that new.

e.g. ‘Death by PowerPoint’ came out in 2007

Page 6: Presentations still suck here

But, in the Czech Republic, presentations haven’t changed since the 1990s

Page 7: Presentations still suck here

Do you want me to be more specific?

Page 8: Presentations still suck here

No audience focusNo clear message

Too much informationText-filled slides

Speakers reading slides No enthusiasm No interaction

No reason to listenNo reason to care

Page 9: Presentations still suck here

The worst part is that it’s accepted as normal here!

Page 10: Presentations still suck here

How do we start to change things?

Page 11: Presentations still suck here

4 BASIC

STEPS

Page 12: Presentations still suck here

1Don’t accept

bad presentations

from your team, your colleagues

or yourself.

Page 13: Presentations still suck here

If we stop being polite, things might improve.

Page 14: Presentations still suck here

2 Use all available resources to find out how it’s done right.

3 Get some proper training for your

team and yourself.

Page 17: Presentations still suck here

But some trainers suck so choose carefully.

Page 18: Presentations still suck here

4 Ask for honest feedback after

every presentation.

Page 19: Presentations still suck here

Act on that feedback so you get better every time you speak.

Page 20: Presentations still suck here

And, an added incentive for improvement…

Page 21: Presentations still suck here

On my blog, I will start reviewing presentations I see.

I could be in the audience the next time you speak!

Page 22: Presentations still suck here

Presentations shouldn’t suck here.

Let’s change it together!

Page 23: Presentations still suck here

They’re waiting for you to be outstanding!
