Presenter of the Year – Not Mark Zuckerberg
December 21st, 2010He might be Time Magazine’s person of the year, but he is not the presenter of the year. Yes, Mark Zuckerberg has impacted 500 million people’s lives with Facebook, but he could use some help with his presentation skills. Look at this picture below. He’s talking, no one seems to be paying attention to him and his slides look like a boring list of bullet points.
Are these people in the room paying attention to him or checking their latest post on their Facebook page?
Is this the future of meetings – where the speaker talks to the back of everyone’s heads while they multitask, reading, sending emails, and chatting on Facebook?
Mark is talking about “Next Generation Messaging” and how Facebook is coming out with a messaging tool that may replace email.
I hope he and his team are not working on a new presentation platform that will replace PowerPoint, especially if this meeting shown above is his idea of a successful presentation.
