Presentation Skills Resources ...

Slide:ology — http://slideology.com/book/

Samples of book content from Nancy Duart's excellent book <i>Slide:ology; The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations</i>. This book is about creative presentations, and particularly the creative use of PowerPoint to get your message across. (My favourite is 192 - Creating Scenes, Not Slides, which inspired me to change an existing presentation of project management quotes to incorporate fat and skinny pipes which are followed by the presentation as it meanders from slide to slide - see it here. You need to download the file and run it as a slideshow to get the full impact.)

Presentation Storyboard Template —

Before preparing slides for an important presentation, it is useful to plan using storyboards. The template provided here has been developed by Performance People for use in the workshop Making Presentations that Work. Click here to download the template: Template for Storyboards.doc

Slideshare — http://www.slideshare.net/

Slideshare is a place to share slideshows with the online world. I have read and enjoyed many presentations here. Particular favourites are Brain Rules for Presenters and Mr Presentation.
