Have you recently been in a boring presentation? I bet you were. I am also almost sure that one of the reason why you got bored is because of the speaker's slide deck. That is true because 99% of the presenters out there use their presentation software(be that PowerPoint, Prezi or Keynote) in a wrong way. This, of course, leads to missed opportunities for future business, disappointed audiences and probably miscommunicated important information. As presenters we want the opposite! In the slide deck you will find 10 of the fundamental rules of great presentation design which we all need to follow in order to join that 1% of people who make a difference and indeed achieve the goals of their presentations.
