  1. Start on time. Whatever.
  2. Finish on time. Whatever.
  3. Be clear on your goal in presenting. And get it, whatever.
  4. Make it easy, really easy to understand.
  5. Be enthusiastic about the topic.
  6. Remove all distractions be it stale sandwiches or bleeping phones.
  7. Thank your audience. 

Definitive stuff from Nicholas Bate on giving presentations. Follow these and you’ll not go wrong. #4 and #5 are the real keys for me.

Oh and whilst you’re here, check out Michael Arrington’s guide to Greetings. Equally wise words.

Thanks Mike – from Steve, we met at Web 2.0 last year in a can and talked Software plus Services.
