I totally disagree with Erick above – I thought Gopal expressed himself very well in this video. What a memorable and terrific way to make his points. I won’t soon forget audience, GPS and the monkey. Bravo Chris, thanks for sharing this with us.

I’m emailing video on presentation to client to educate on unique selling proposition. Knowing audience is key to determining USP for basic marketing thrust as well as when doing a powerpoint. Thanks for the post.

The Monkey: What doesn’t add to the presentation will only sustract from it. (That’s what slight of hand magicians say)

This dude has an interesting point but his manner of speaking and presenting himself is in itself probably an article for another blog post. What a snooze.

It’s great to see this trend of learning to present better. There are so many resources out there now like Presentation Zen [http://www.presentationzen.com/] and my favorite: watching the master, Steve Jobs, present at Apple keynotes.

So why aren’t I attending better presentations? Hmm….

Anyone else seen an improvement?

Fantastic points, delivered effectively. I highly recommend that from here, people check out Garr Reynolds fantastic blog on presentations, Presentation Zen. One of my favorite Presentation Zen posts is the one where he gives us some video clips of Presentation humor. I can't believe there's a stand-up comic (Don McMillan) who makes an audience roar with laughter over bad Powerpoints. But more seriously, Garr sheds light on a variety of great speakers and analyzes their styles so that we can develop our own. Combine Presentation Zen with Made to Stick, and you've got the principles for successful presentations.
