The idea is sharing best practice from a multitude of experienced presenters, and unlike a book, opinions and styles can change frequently based on the media and hot topics of the day; so dont expect a formulaic opinionated website, thats not our style, nor would we dare suggest that this is all there is to know. Effective presentations is about working on your presentation skills, adapting to the audience and learning from the environment around you. Dont forget its all about the journey not the destination.

Words of wisdom for presentations
Pluto:
Accept that presentation skills will develop over a lifetime, and not something that you can learn overnight. Embrace the challenge, present at every opportunity you can, and your presentation skills will sharpen.
Jupiter:
Learn from others. Look at how other people run their presentations, look at good and bad presenters and jot down what you liked or disliked about their presentations. Look at the audiences reaction and whether your judged the presentation to be a success or failure.
Mars:
Enjoy yourself, this is a whole words of fun, challenging at times, but allways fun. And when you have a great presentation, smile, reflect on why it went well and keep learning.
Orion:
Look at the world around you, look at the tv, read the newspapers, jot down sound bites and cut out interesting stories or quotes that you can use in your next presentation.
Saturn:
Get feedback on your presentation, before and after the main event. Listen to experienced presenters and those that you admire, learn from your mistakes.
Venus:
Adapt every presentation to the needs of your audience, never ever repeat a presentation just because it went ok last time. Treat every presentation as if it were new, fresh and untested.
Neptune:
Dont limit yourself to your little world, get in inspiration from other sectors, trade magazines, talking to people outside of your realm of expertise. The more of the world you explore the more innovative and imaginative your presentations will become.
