The dot-bomb economy was hailed as the new economy but after September 11, 2001, no one denies that we are in a new, new economy. Military spending is up almost 25%, churches have more money for technology than corporations, the home theater market is booming and any technology that’s security related is taking a front seat to virtually all other sectors of information communications markets.

Presentation Tips: Develop a Story Line
Your audience will ask, "Where’s the point in all this?"

In business, people get paid for carrying out the details of their work. They spend hours in the nitty gritty of a project. Of course they are working toward an overall goal, but that goal is achieved only by accomplishing it step by step. Consequently, when asked to give a presentation on their work, they gravitate toward telling about their daily activities and the trials that occurred as they attempted to accomplish those activities. Most audiences don’t want to know that level of detail.
