How do you create a very powerful and engaging presentations for your audience? Nobody knows this better than Guy Kawasaki. Guy Kawasaki sums it up the best, when presenting, always use the 10-20-30 rule. 10 slides, 20 minutes, and 30 point font size. The last thing you want to do in a presentation is to squeeze in so much text that it bores everyone. People can read faster than you can present. Remember, it is a presentation, not a kindergarten class reading hour.
