Some  *ps  you  should  take  note  •  10-­‐20-­‐30  Rule  –  This  is  a  slideshow  rule  offered  by  Guy  Kawasaki.  This  rule  states  

that  a  powerpoint  slide  should  have  no  more  than  10  slides,  last  no  longer  than  20  minutes  and  have  no  text  less  than  30  point  font.  He  says  it  doesn’t  maHer  whether  your  idea  will  revolu*onize  the  world,  you  need  to  spell  out  the  important  nuggets  in  a  few  minutes  minutes,  a  couple  slides  and  a  several  words  a  slide.  

•  Be  Entertaining  –  Speeches  should  be  entertaining  and  informa*ve.  I’m  not  saying  you  should  act  like  a  dancing  monkey  when  giving  a  serious  presenta*on.  But  unlike  an  e-­‐mail  or  ar*cle,  people  expect  some  appeal  to  there  emo*ons.  Simply  reci*ng  dry  facts  without  any  passion  or  humor  will  make  people  less  likely  to  pay  aHen*on.  

•  Slow  Down  –  Nervous  and  inexperienced  speakers  tend  to  talk  way  to  fast.  Consciously  slow  your  speech  down  and  add  pauses  for  emphasis.  

•  Eye  Contact  –  Match  eye  contact  with  everyone  in  the  room.  I’ve  also  heard  from  salespeople  that  you  shouldn’t  focus  all  your  aHen*on  on  the  decision  maker  since  secretaries  and  assistants  in  the  room  may  hold  persuasive  sway  over  their  boss.
