Are your presentations guilty of the following sins?

1. Illegibility. Know the size of the room, screen and audience before you create a presentation. The person at the back of the crowd should easily be able to read your slides. If he or she can't, they're going to tune out. Pick a clearly readable font that's large enough for the potential decision maker at the back of the room to read. And make sure to keep your slide backgrounds simple and clean.

2. Information Overload. Presentations are supposed to support what you're saying, not tell the whole story. Otherwise, why should people listen to you? Use the outline of your presentation to pick and choose the main points on the screen. If you are going over a complex document, give your audience a handout to which they can refer.

3. Bullet Point Abuse. Slide after slide of bulleted text will have your audience sliding into REM. Break up the text with an image, video, chart or other illustration that is relevant and that will crystallize your main point.

4. Lost in the Wilderness. In longer presentations, take the time to put information into context. As you complete each section, flash back to the bigger picture for a moment so the audience knows how all the information fits together. This will also keep your presentation on track because if you can't fit a section into the bigger picture, it doesn't belong there.

5. Selfishness. In sales presentations, it's easy to slide into the trap of telling talking about your product or service, instead of
   Careers Working in Government
   If you are looking for a job in cannot find one then there is a government job ready for you. The government continually wastes taxpayer’s money and hires people needlessly to push around paper. Of course we all know the government paperwork reduction act is supposed to limit the amount of paperwork and trees we cut down, but that initiative is not going nowhere very fast as we all know. Therefore the governm

   Delegating to Gain Employee Engagement
   The Gallup Organization surveyed 200,000 individuals in 36 organizations, across 21 industries about their level of engagement. Only 29% of employees reported that they were engaged or highly engaged at work. An astounding 55% reported that they were not engaged (think of their attitude as “wait-and-see”) and an even more revealing 16% reported that they were actively disengaged (think of behavior such as compla

    Marketing: Your Brand Is About More Than Just Good Looks
    First let’s clear up a common misconception of what a “Brand” really is. A brand is more than just your company’s name or logo. It’s more than just a particular type of product you offer such as Q-tips brand of cotton swabs. It’s more than just the look of the packaging of your product. In a nutshell your ”Brand” is the culmination of everything your prospect’s 5 senses can pick up on about you.It’s t
    r a moment so the audience knows how all the information fits together. This will also keep your presentation on track because if you can't fit a section into the bigger picture, it doesn't belong there.

15. Selfishness. In sales presentations, it's easy to slide into the trap of telling talking about your product or service, instead of what it will do for your customer's lives. Internal presentations, be they about sales activities or manufacturing output, should also take their audience's concerns into consideration.

    In presenting to your boss, keep the goals he's set for you and the bigger picture in mind. In presenting to staffers, reinforce the positive reasons why they should be paying attention.

16. Poor Branding. Using a template, especially one that is at odds with your corporate branding, will make it hard for people to recall who presented what, especially if you're competing for attention. Make sure the design, layout, colours and font used in your presentation could only have come from your company.

17. Copyright Violation. Sure it's tempting to grab a graphic from a Google Image Search, scan a Dilbert cartoon or use a track from your favourite music CD to spice up your presentation, but guess what? It's illegal. Even if you're only putting together an internal presentation: if you didn't commission the material you wish to use or get it from a royalty free source that allows business use - it's against the law to include it.

    You might not get a knock on your door from Sony music or Scott Adams (the guy that writes Dilbert), but if your boss or client is sensitive about protecting intellectual property and is reasonably savvy, you could (at best) end up embarrassing yourself and at worst lose a ma
