Re: [applekeynote] How do you tell someone they have bad breath...er a bad PP presentation?

Wait for their birthday and buy them firstly, a copy of Kosslyn's book:

Clear and to the Point: 8 Psychological Principles for Compelling PowerPoint Presentations
  By: Stephen M. Kosslyn (Author)
  $11.53 at Amazon.

Once he thanks you and says he's started to use the principles, and getting good feedback, ask him if he'd like to step it up a level, and buy him Garr Reynold's Presentation Zen book.

If he likes that and gets good feedback, have him read Brian's and my blogs and join this list!

Best

I just withstood a dear friend's PP presentation. It broke just about every rule/suggestion 
presented by Les. Long sentences. Reading the screen. Few graphics. 

Dull. Boring. Agonizing.

Of course, it makes my KN presentations look so much better, but I want to help my friend. 
What should I do? Send him a metaphoric bottle of Scope?

How do people here tell friends that they're putting people through PowerPoint Hell?
