Good set of tips here. Powerpoint is so often misused by presenters. Here's a link on (alternative) . AKA The PowerPoint Comedy show on video. Hope you like it.

Great advice! Many times presenters use PowerPoint presentations as a crutch and while they are good for supporting the main points that the speaker makes, I don’t recommend relying to heavily on slides and posting the entire speech on them. Follow the Rule of Six: No more than 6 lines of text per slide and no more than 6 words per line.

Humor is indeed a powerful tool. It keeps your audiences’ attention, even if the content of your talk is boring by nature.

Hey Tina, this top ten list is fantastic. These are all really great tips. #2 is extremely important, I can’t tell you how many presentations I have seen that are all over the place, which makes it very hard to follow. Plus it totally distracts attention away from the speaker. You can post this to our site toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

This is a very useful article. A good powerpoint presentation is better than 1000 words.

Folks, this is all saying things about style and color. What I see missing is Intro-topics-main points-summary-closing and last but not least don’t powerpoint everything! Some things need a written report. Pitches and getting buy in to a new initiative yes. Beyond that, Powerpoint may hurt more than help. Google Tufte Powerpoint for a detailed critique
