When I got my MBA, years and years ago, we took two years of public speaking and writing. Including how to make a killer presentation, sales pitch, whatever.

Most valuable thing I learned and critical in any trade.

Rule #1: Keep it under 15 minutes, preferably under 7. After 15 minutes you will not keep anyone's attention.

Rule #2: 3 points and 3 points only

Rule #3: Tell them what you will tell them, Tell them, and then tell them again what they were told.

I'll add one more rule: Presentation should be at least 20% entertainment.

Still works. You can give me the crappiest Powerpoint, but I'm pretty confident I can make it interesting if I can apply those rules.
