A major step forward in improving presentations is creative planning.

\n
\n<\/span>The intrinsic pace of writing and drawing allows more space for freedom of thought than the flash of fingers over a keyboard.\u00a0Some use a large whiteboard, an A3 sheet of paper,\u00a0post it notes or a well loved moleskine notebook but the basic concept is that this time facilitates creativity and the physicality adds to this. Avoid the temptation to use electronic means to capture and organise ideas, they bring with them the desire to format and organise ideas or the greater temptation to save time and enter ideas directly into the presentation software.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Creativity comes to those prepared for it. Computers stifle that. Close down the laptop for improved presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n
