thanks for the great tips! i couldn’t have found it at a more apt time ;-)

The two most compelling presentations I can remember in recent years (and I've seen thousands) were from Seth Godin and Tiffany Shlain. Seth needs no introduction, but in case you don't know Tiffany, she founded the Webby Awards. Both used imagery to tell their story. Tiffany must have squeezed 200 images into a 20 minute slide deck and timed her jokes, tips and takeaways perfectly to each graphic. She totally followed your "TV" tip. I was mesmerized and looked forward to every upcoming image and commentary. I work in marketing for a software company and hope that we're able to incorporate some of these ideas into our presentations. I'm just so freakin tired of working on the same PPT slides, I cannot believe the effort justifies the results. By incorporating your ideas I think we can flip that paradigm and have some fun at the same time. Thanks again! Good stuff Chris.

This is a super minor detail, but your "about me" paragraph at the top of your homepage reads like you work for "show businesses." Maybe I'm the only one that reads it that way, who knows.

It's easy to be seduced by all the multimedia razzle-dazzle into thinking that the speaker has lost his/her importance. But it's even more critical now for speakers to be really strong in their presentations to keep the focus on the message where it belongs. Some things I've told my clients about humor: Poking fun at yourself almost always wins you points in a funny story. Make the story relevant to the presentation; find some commonality between the presentation topic and the personal story. And if all else fails, throw in a chicken. Chickens are innately hilarious.
