Presentation Pep Talk

I subscribe to 5 or 6 different magazines- ranging from Youth Worker to Rolling Stone (which I feel is less and less relevant all the time-seriously thinking about dropping it.)

Besides books (obviously), this is about the only reading I do that is not in front of a computer screen.

One of my favorite magazines is Fast Company. It's a business magazine with some of the best leadership insights I read anywhere.

This month they published a great article titled "How to Avoid Making a Bad Presentation." This is something everyone in ministry who ever presents anything on a screen should read.

The line I can't get out of my head:

The best presenters don't structure their presentations by thinking, What's the next point I should make? Instead, they decide, What's the next question I want them to wrestle with?

I encourage you to head over to the website and read through the article. It is worth your time.
