		<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 sat through two bad presentations and a great one the other day.  The great one was designed to simply give people information they could use to help market their businesses.
It was fun, fast and full of useful stuff.
The two presentations that came before it weren&#8217;t quite so good.  In fact they were so bad [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You might not know I blog somewhere else, as well as here.  No?  Well I&#8217;ve not mentioned it before.  Blokesontheblog.co.uk is exactly that &#8211; bunch of British Blokes, blogging.  It&#8217;s eclectic and entertaining.  It&#8217;s not focused and it&#8217;s not limited&#8230; which is a pretty cool combination.
Recently, I wrote about presenting (what else do I know?!?) [...]]]></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>

If it works for you, act on it.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s big news at the moment: as we head into elections in the UK, Gordon Brown PM, was caught saying what he &#8216;really thought&#8217; about someone he&#8217;d just been speaking to &#8211; thinking he was amongst friends, but forgetting that his radio mic was not only on, but live (and attached to a recording [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scattered around the web are lots of places suggesting you can/should use the b or w keys to turn you screen black or white when you&#8217;re presenting, at times when you want your audience to focus on you.  Being slightly tongue in cheek, I&#8217;m amazed that there&#8217;s anyone left who doesn&#8217;t know this tip! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rant mode on&#8230;.
What is it about the (free) powerpoint templates that makes them so bad?  Do (probably otherwise good) designers sit there and think to themselves &#8220;I&#8217;m going to give this one away, so I&#8217;ll deliberately make it suck!&#8221;?
Okay, maybe I&#8217;m over-reacting, but time and time again I find that people come to us [...]]]></description>
