Presentation Tip: Give your talk a spine

I recently spent a day with a group of quantitative investment managers who wanted to improve the way they present their services.

What they needed was structure.  They needed to tell the audience what topics they would cover…then cover them.  Or tell the audience what claims they would be making, and then prove them.  Or define a problem that the audience had, and offer their investment approach as a solution to the problem, giving reasons and examples.

Without a clear structure, a talk is invertebrate, and listeners like vertebrate talks.

Give your talk a spine.
