What Sucks the Energy Out of a Presentation? PowerPoint Dull opening Too much content Body language, voice and movement Handling questions Bad tech Death by PowerPoint Text that continues on and on and on without any regard for your sensibilities This text will ultimately be read line by line by the presenter It gives the impression that the speaker has no idea what is going on Often the text is really too small to read by anyone over the age of 25. The text is often wrong in some way The font is mixed making it stand out as just wrong. Their iz ofen a hole bunch of unkorected speeling misteaks You spend way too much time looking at the chart and have no idea what the person is saying. Or even worse you know what the speaker is saying because he or she is just reading every freaking word on the chart By the time you get down to the bottom of the chart you are ready: To commit suicide from boredom Snore loudly with no regard for the presenters feelings Wonder how that piece of food got stuck in the presenters teeth Notice that you still read even though you know nothing real is here! It you are reading this line you should yell I m bored! Get ready for 25 more slides just like this one 5

zenterprise Data Compression (zedc) Capture new opportunities with lower cost of keeping data online Efficiently compress active data using a dedicated compression accelerator Industry standard compression for cross platform data distribution Typical Client Use Cases: Disk savings with improved utilization of storage tiers with DFSMSdss use of compression Compression for sequential files with less CPU costs Shorten encryption time with hardware compression and IBM Encryption Facility for z/os Fast, secured data transfer across the enterprise with IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/os Standard Edition V5.2 Transparent acceleration of Java compressed applications * Measurements for comparisons were completed as part of a formal performance evaluation on a dedicated, isolated test system. ** These results are based on projections and measurements completed in a controlled environment. Results may vary by customer based on individual workload, configuration and software levels *** Exploited through standard Java APIs java.util.zip in the latest releases of Java 7.0.0, and Java V7R1 **** Achieve up to up 80% reduction in elapsed time for z/os to z/os file transfers with minimal CPU increase. Results vary by data set type and characteristics of the data DFSMShsm * Use up to 58% less disk space and up to 80% less CPU compared to using DFSMShsm with the COMPACT keyword BSAM/QSAM** Compress data up to 4X, with up to 80% reduced CPU * Java 7*** Up to 90% reduction in CPU time with up to 74% reduction in elapsed time vs. using zlib software Connect:Direct for z/os 5.2**** Up to 80% reduction in elapsed time for z/os to z/os file transfers 2015 IBM Corporation 13 zenterprise Data Compression (zedc) Capture new opportunities with lower cost of keeping data online Efficiently compress active data using a dedicated compression accelerator Industry standard compression for cross platform data distribution Typical Client Use Cases: Disk savings with improved utilization of storage tiers with DFSMSdss use of compression Compression for sequential files with less CPU costs Shorten encryption time with hardware compression and IBM Encryption Facility for z/os Fast, secured data transfer across the enterprise with IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/os Standard Edition V5.2 Transparent acceleration of Java compressed applications * Measurements for comparisons were completed as part of a formal performance evaluation on a dedicated, isolated test system. ** These results are based on projections and measurements completed in a controlled environment.

What Makes a Great Presentation Opening? Show some energy! You re on stage! Exciting, interesting graphics Tell a story Start with the big picture Memorize your opening The audience wants to like you! How Much is Too Much? 12
How to Use Your Body Language, Movement and Voice Show some energy! You re on stage! Use a remote-control device Laser pointer Eye contact Use your voice 13
Using Humor Collect funny stories Understatement and exaggeration Humor when a glitch occurs Cartoons 14

Handling Questions When to take questions? Always repeat the question! Never end the presentation with questions Trouble-making questions 16
The Underminer I think I understand what you are trying to say here. It s not an easy topic. Not everyone is able to succinctly describe the challenges, and you did your best. Good try. The Self-promoter Hi, I m Steve from accounting. Nice to see everyone. And great presentation by the way. I really enjoyed it. And I m not usually a PPT guy, you know, since I m a Mac guy. But you were able to keep me absorbed for the past 15 minutes. Anyway, I have a question 17
The Critic On slide 13, on the second table, sixth column across, twelfth row down, you seemed to be missing a decimal point. Was that intentional? The Left Fielder I noticed that you didn t talk about the latest findings from North America regarding the rising consumer demand of the post 90 s generation. Could you share your thoughts? 18
The Bombardier Actually, I have three questions. OK. My first question is also in two parts Know the Technical Details Microphones Rearranging the furniture Check out tech in advance Testing in slide show mode Test projector 19

Summary Limit session scope Tell stories Presentation vs documentation Never end with questions Check tech in advance Pouring wine They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
