All over
the world
presentations
are
getting
better.

There’s a new awareness thanks to these people…

It’s really nothing that new.
e.g. ‘Death by PowerPoint’ came out in 2007

But, in the Czech Republic, presentations haven’t changed since the 1990s

Do you want me to be more specific?

No audience focusNo clear message
Too much informationText-filled slides

The worst part is that it’s accepted as normal here!

How do we start to change things?
![Page 11: Presentations still suck here](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061106/54468d5fafaf9f65178b4688/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

STEPS

1Don’t accept
bad presentations
from your team, your colleagues
or yourself.

If we stop being polite, things might improve.

3 Get some proper training for your
team and yourself.

But some trainers suck so choose carefully.

4 Ask for honest feedback after
every presentation.

Act on that feedback so you get better every time you speak.

On my blog, I will start reviewing presentations I see.
I could be in the audience the next time you speak!

Presentations shouldn’t suck here.
Let’s change it together!

They’re waiting for you to be outstanding!
