Powerpoint Advice

I felt like the articles on Powerpoint were extremely useful. Over the past four years I've made more than a dozen presentations and had to watch twice as many, whether it was in a classroom, work, or a conference I've have witnessed some very useful and well planed presentations but for the most part it has been painful to listen to someone read out loud their information. It seems that it would be easy to make a clear and simple presentation with powerpoint since it is very easy and straight forward to use, but people often feel the need to include all of their information on the slides. Here are some tips that that I learned from Guy Kawasaki, a venture capitalist that listens to business proposals all day and shares his insight of what works and doesn't work when trying to sell something.

a presentation should be:
1 clear
2 concise
3 precise
4 coherent
5 captivating
