Good content may be necessary for a successful presentation, but it isn't sufficient: it doesn't guarantee success.
You must frame your good content so it holds attention and show up on time, dressed to say what you have to say in a lively, engaging manner.

So when you begin, establish your themes, and as you move through each section remind them where they are on the journey. When you get to the end, repeat you...

Rehearse. An audience doesn't want to see you struggling to say what's on your mind.
They've come for a show, an organized presentation of thought. Know your lines: your opening line, headlines, bottom line, and story lines. Being prepared will help you come across in a conversation...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
