  1. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. This old saying is especially true when it comes to presentations.
  2. When delivering a speech, less is more: It is better to drive home two or three points than throw too much information at the audience.
  3. 5 tips for quick & dirty editing: chop up long paragraphs, trim sentences, make passive verbs active, add headings & check the cosmetics.
  4. Use headings in long documents. Headings make life easier for readers & are a great antidote to information overload.
  5. The titles on your visuals should read like headlines. They should shout out the main idea, giving the audience the big picture at a glance.

  7. If your non-verbal language is at odds with your words when speaking, people will read your body language and your message will be diluted.
  8. Be aware of your tone while writing. Choose words that are positive & constructive. Angry people might comply, but they'll rarely cooperate.
  9. Don’t present like a job description dressed in a suit. Be open to sharing your own persona. Give people a glimpse of the real you.
  10. Are you a nervous presenter? Physical exercise is a powerful stress-buster. Get some exercise early on the day of your talk.

  16. When writing e-mail, keep your paragraphs to four sentences or fewer. Readers should be able to read an entire paragraph without scrolling.
  17. When editing other people's writing, don’t rewrite their document yourself. Provide your feedback and allow the them to do the rewrite.
