Most presentations in the Czech Republic still suck. It's time for a change!

Presentations in CZ still suck!

2. All over
the world
presentations
are
getting
better.

3. There’s a new awareness
thanks to these people…

4. Death by PowerPoint

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

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

7. Do you want me to be more
specific?

8. No audience focus
No clear message
Too much information
Text-filled slides
Speakers reading slides
No enthusiasm
No interaction
No reason to listen
No reason to care

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

10. How do we start to change
things?

11. 4
BASIC
STEPS

12. 1
Don’t accept
bad
presentations
from your team,
your colleagues
or yourself.

13. If we stop being polite,
things might improve.

14. 2
Use all available
resources to find out
how it’s done right.

You can find endless
resources on the Internet.

16. 3
Get some proper
training for your
team and yourself.

17. But some trainers suck so
choose carefully.

18. 4
Ask for honest
feedback after
every
presentation.

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

20. And, an added incentive for
improvement…

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

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

23. They’re waiting for you to be
outstanding!
