The 10/20/30 Rule of Presentations

From the venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki, here’s a good general tip for creating presentations with slides:

“A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.”

Now I am a big fan of short, to-the-point presentations, even presentations without slides. Bloated slides take audience’s attention away from the presenter, and thus defeating the whole point of making a presentation – it’s not a reading session, but a time for you to showcase your subject matter expertise and/or convenience the audience to take the next action step, not that you can put together some PPTs.
