No one notices the horrible presentations...

Now that I have worked in Corporate America for a while I have come to notice that 99% of all business presentations are awful. They are dull and boring and normally consist of someone reading their PowerPoint slides to you. They have to read them to you because 1) they are poor presenters and 2) the font on the slide is too small that you wouldn't be able to read it yourself. However, unless you like the nostalgia of your Kindergarten teacher reading to you, this kind of presentation is not very effective.

Guy Kawasaki of the How to Change the World blog and Garage.com led me to this great presentation. I believe it illustrates that the inverse of a horrible presentation that no one notices or remembers is an awe inspiring show that your audience will go wild for, (a show that does not rely on a PowerPoint template).

Check it out!
