We all have alot to learn from these top presentations. According to Guy Kawasaki,

The commonality you’ll see in these winners is big fonts, big graphics, and a “storytelling” orientation. These are three crucial qualities of a good presentation.

I have had several negative personal experiences with my presentations despite contrary feedback from my friends. I always seek to plant as much information as possible within minimal number of slides. And I hardly practice or pace myself before embarking on the verbal barrage. More often than not, these barrages usually ‘outcaptures’ the audience compared to my slides. I guess I have to watch and learn….and PREPARE for my Podcamp Europe session.
