I agree. The person who gives the presentation most likely knows what he is saying, but for the audience it is likely the first confrontation with the subject (or a decision, point of view,... about it).
They have absolutely no need for difficult words. Using normal vocabulary will make it easier for the audience to understand you.
Also the vocabulary has to be adjusted to the audience. Talking to 17 year olds is not the same as talking to scientists:)
If you have no clue what you are saying, you have absolutely no business being up there giving the talk in the first place
True, but admit that often the manager gives the presentation instead off the person most suited for the job. Presentations often have a PR-function too.
As I also said, the most important factor is to know what you are talking about, the slides offer a means of help for yourself and for the audience. When you said "learning by heart" I tought you meant that you should just say what you learned : the exact same words etc... as 17 year old students mostly tend to do when they are feeling insecure.
When you understand the content, you will feel more secure and your audience will be more interested. That's my personal experience with giving presentations..
4) rehearse your presentation so that you know it by heart
I beg to differ. Do NOT learn your presentation by heart. Make sure you understand the subject. Make sure you know it thoroughly. If your slides are good, just interact with them. Show your audience what you're saying (many people like to SEE it). Short strong words are (imho) necessary on a presentation for the audience to keep focus)
There is nothing more boring then a presentation where somebody just rattles on about a subject. PLUS when you are asked a question, you often forget what you were saying. You loose track of your text like that.
If you have no clue what you are saying, then learn it by heart and watch your audience fall asleep.
True, on the other hand. Some companies switch to newer versions, "because it's newer". They have absolutely no need for a newer version, but well "it's newer, get it".
Mostly it's impossible arguing with people who think like that. They just want the new version, because it's available. No need to say that those people hardly believe you if you can do something better and cheaper for them (example : dynamic webdesign : "YOU can do future updates, without having to pay anyone for it". They don't believe you when you say anything like that, without prooving it 20 times).
Well it kept "registering" all the time untill I got back with coffee... Thus it's uninstalled. I didn't really expect any people from Belgium on it tbh.
But for v2.0 I at least expected I could register...
Not only in America trust me:)
And the porn dialers appear everywhere... And when it's your girlfriend's dad, the excuses are even funnier:) "Well, I, euhm, just remove it, please ? Is it broken now ?"

Personally, I think this is step in the right direction. Will save me the time to remove those things from the Windows-minded people among me ...
