The Art of Innovation - Guest Blog - Eric Swanson

Eric did this great blog post recently.

You can read it here.

I liked this bit......

8. Follow the 10/20/30 rule.

When making presentations to clients or investors, use:
· 10 slides - Not 50 as most people do
· 20 minutes - You may have an hour, but some people will be late, others may leave early, and you want plenty of time for Q&A.
· 30 point font - If you use a small font, it usually means you’re trying to use a lot of text, which implies that you’re a lousy speaker (which most tech company CEOs are, he says).
Why?
Because they don’t practice.
