There aren’t any truly disaster presentations that I’ve seen that stand out. Just bad habits that I see. As an example, at one of my business networking groups we take turns giving 1 minute infomercials. Some speakers will start to sit down at the end of their time as they’re giving their tag line. They would have much more presence as a speaker if they would finish their entire infomercial and then sit down.

Yes, I’ve also heard that good writing, is simply good re-writing. It starts with putting something down on paper, and shaping it from there. I’ve seen some really disaster presentations… even as lately as last week! It’s amazing how many people have issues with it. What’s the worst one you’ve seen?

Thanks for linking to my post. You’re right, speaking (or writing!) is like sculpting. You start with a good idea and remove the pieces of clay that detract from the presentation.
