		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s stuff all over the &#8216;net about how a good presentation should be like a conversation with your audience.  By that, the authors are (as far as I can tell) generally trying to get away from the &#8220;stand and deliver&#8221; style of presenting, where the presenter is more of a talking head than anything, simply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember being told once, long ago, way back in the mists of time, that you can’t make presentations if you’re not fit and that, conversely, presenting is such a high energy activity that you burn calories at a respectable rate.
I’m not sure how accurate either of these claims are, in that I’ve not come [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a client who wanted to have one-on-one training in making presentations.  After a free taster session I decided that this wasn&#8217;t the best way forward for him and suggested that he looked at the idea of training as part of a group.  We had quite an interesting conversation about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the recurring responses I get from people who work with me about making better presentations is that they don’t have the necessary time to design their presentations in anything other than the quick-and-dirty approach of a hastily thrown together set of bullet-points.  My response is often to look at the trade-off between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month was a big month for people giving presentations. Steve Jobs launches the iPad, for example and ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair gives evidence about the war with Iraq. To be honest, Mr Jobs had the easier time of it, for two reasons. Firstly, his audience wanted him to do well (whereas Mr Blair was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, we’ve all seen lists like this before but we all ignore them.  Why?  Because we don’t want to believe that the things on them are sensible, in terms of our time; perhaps we don’t think we need to do what is being suggested &#8211; or perhaps we think we already do.

I barely know any who don’t have to travel to get to their presentations &#8211; certainly it’s not unknown for me to be up at the crack of dawn (or even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was doing a half day&#8217;s training this morning in one of the Local Authorities near us.  As I walked into their training room I noticed that the flipchart still had the notes from yesterday&#8217;s training hanging over the back&#8230; that&#8217;s too good an opportunity to miss for someone as nosy as me&#8230; and [...]]]></description>
