A GOOD PRESENTATION IS A
                        SIMPLE STORY, TOLD FROM A
                        PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE

                       1. Background - paint the picture (contextualise)

                       2. Main character - who’s involved and how?

                       3. Event - what happened?

                       4. Lessons - what can we learn from it?

AND SOME LESSONS FOR ME

                1. It’s dangerous doing a presentation about how to do
                presentations (hope no one thinks i’m a total wanker.)

                2. You can’t really explain exactly how to do something
                when the point is not to follow a format.

                3. Clearly this level of silliness isn’t appropriate in all cases,
                but the core point remains: humanise it.
