		<title>Presentation Dos and Don’ts lists</title>
		<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.

		<title>Cameron&#8217;s political presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So then, today, David Cameron delivered a speech to his party conference without notes.  Isn&#8217;t it sad that this fact it ranked pretty highly on the list of &#8216;important things to report&#8217; about this speech?
Opinions about how effective the speech will be appear to be divided (pretty much along the lines you&#8217;d expect), but [...]]]></description>

		<title>TED talks &#8211; presentations at their best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally I like to create something new in these posts &#8211; after all, any fool can cut, paste and hack at other people&#8217;s work.
This time, however, I&#8217;m going to break my own &#8216;rule&#8217;.  Take a look at this talk from TED on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkrvAUbU9Y.  It&#8217;s a guy called Daniel Pink talking about motivation.
Notice how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trains, planes and automobiles &#8211; traveling to presentations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve trained a lot of speakers and I know a lot of people who speak as part of their work (or for fun!).  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>

		<title>Someone else&#8217;s work used for my presentations&#8230;</title>
		<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>

		<title>Get to the point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The world&#8217;s most simple analogy for a decent presentation&#8230;  
The presentation is the tip of the spear.  Sure, it&#8217;s the bit people notice and are frightened of (the spear-tip, not the presentation!) but it&#8217;s useless without
the shaft &#8211; the backup in terms of designing and researching your presentation; getting the audience&#8217;s key [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lectern lesson two for presenting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently blogged briefly about a presentation skill I picked up from a crying baby in church and this (even more brief!) blog follows on from that&#8230;.
Now to talk about presentation pitch&#8230;.
I listened to the singing in the service. Over 200 people should make quite a decent amount of noise, especially as the hymn in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presentation Lessons From the lectern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and on this occasion I mean the lectern in my local church, last Sunday morning.  
Maybe it makes me a bad person who&#8217;s going to go to hell, but there were a couple of things I picked up from the service on Sunday which had less to do with God and more to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is this thing on?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to think it was a (bad) joke when I heard presenters checking the microphone was turned on by asking if it was.  If it is, or course, the whole audience can hear you asking and your credibility takes a tumble before you even start.  If it isn’t, no one knows you’re [...]]]></description>

		<title>presentation zen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long term readers will know I&#8217;m a great fan of the whole style of Presentation Zen. The books cool &#8211; but if you want to get a brief overview, this video takes less time to watch than the book takes to read!
