Marketing is really theater. It‘s
like staging a performance.
"JOHN SCULLEY"
Truly great presenters like Steve Jobs visualize, plan and create ideas on paper (or whiteboards) well
before they open the presentation software.
Design experts, and apple designers
recommend that presenters spend the
majority of their time
thinking
sketching
scripting
Duarte suggests that a
presenter spend up
90
hours
1
long-hour
30
slides
Bullet kills
Creating the slides did not take as much time as
developing the story. Once we wrote the narrative,
designing the slides was easy. Remember, it’s the
story, not the slides, that will capture the
imagination of your audience.

A picture is the most powerful method for
conveying an idea.Never underestimate the
power of a vision so simple that it can fit on a
napkin!
