Presentation Skills
A survey of 'biggest fears' undertaken in 1977* showed that 41% of people were afraid of public speaking, yet only 19% were afraid of death. Jerry Seinfeld said of this "Following that logic, at a funeral, the person delivering the eulogy would rather be in the box!"

Good presentation skills isn't simply about how good you are at building a PowerPoint deck. There is no doubt that PowerPoint can be a very useful and powerful tool, however the danger is assuming that the presentation will go well simply because you have crammed as much information as possible into the deck. You need to ask yourself how to engage an audience. You need to ask yourself how people take information on board.
