Who Teaches this Stuff?

• 10 years of higher education.

• 30-40 scientific presentations

• 1200+ slides

• Days of talking

What do you Need

• Clarity of purpose– With so few slides, have a purpose for each, and a pace that

evolves from 1-20.

• Clarity of the visual– Reconstitute the intellectual for the eyes. The eyes are the

main gateway for your message.

• Clarity of the verbal– Orchestrate your wording, and augment the visual-don’t fight

it.
