Hans Rosling is sharp on a lot, and hard to beat is his creativity. Here he goes out with IKEA boxes and symbolic objects to illustrate his message. Accurate, memorable and inspiring!

Thanks to Magnus for the tip on this You Tube clip. Lawrence Lessig is awesome, but in light of this presentation, it feels like he is awesome as long as he does not use PowerPoint.

Lawrence Lessing really makes an effort all the way from his toes to succeed in combining the subtitles and image enhancements for his presentation. Consequently, it feels as if he were trying to copy Dick Hardt in his presentation Identity 2.0 but misses some fundamental building blocks like repetition and number of messages. My view is that Lawrence, who has wonderfully creative ideas in this presentation, will fail to create a lasting memory for the audience precisely because of it. PowerPoint is not intended to be a subtext. Reinforcement of words should be either striking or of clarifying purpose; which he did not do any of. However, the use of visual language was acceptable.

Earlier this year I spoke with a student who had done just that, but not shared his PowerPoint because there were a few company trade secrets in it. Here we have another good example for those who either have an eye on his pen, or who have little money left over and can afford to hire someone who draws as a god.

That it besides that in its content is contrary to at least half of DeathByPowerPoint principles is another story…

Steve Jobs was recently appointed to be the world’s most intelligent managers, and he seems to person with many facets for his presentation skills are also world class. Could they perhaps be connected? : )

This presentation by Steve Jobs delivers at Stanford is a great example of voice use (pause, tempo, volume and tone) and an excellent theme which he based on the classic (say what you say, say it and say what you have said). That presentation also is a life-philosophical pleasure makes it even better.

With the right presentation techniques and rhetoric, you might not do everything right, but almost everything. In this motivational speech done by the coach of the football team “Flowers”, we see how he with a well written speech gets the entire locker room to swing and ultimately – completely puncture the game with a crushing victory. Above all, he uses presentation skills (body language, movement and content) but also some rhetoric in the form of including repetitions, alliteration, and climax.
If he had controlled his movements a little better and used better eye contact, along with a more peaceful use of voice, then he would have been a perfect 10. But all credit to him!

Here is an exciting example of how you as a presenter can play with words and visual aids. Thanks to Mike for the tip!
