The quick and easy guide to creating an effective presentation

Olivia Mitchell has created a free booklet for download. The Quick and Easy Guide to Creating an Effective Presentation is the kind of booklet I like. Straight talk from an experienced speaker that gives pragmatic steps for presenters to drastically improve presentations.

Specifically, I like the way that Olivia states the obvious truth, but is so often overlooked. During your introduction "... be careful not to overdo talking about your background. The audience does not want your entire resume". This is so true. Your introduction should be under 30 seconds, and set the stage to show that you are on the stage to server your audience, not for your ego.

I also like the "Presentation Planner". I am a visual learner and like the way that Olivia lays out the presentation in a diagram. If it works for me, then it may also work for you.

I recommend The Quick and Easy Guide to Creating an Effective Presentation, so go ahead and download your free booklet if you want to improve your next presentation.
