Going through the items I had starred in Google Reader I just found a link to this Guy Kawasaki video that had been shared by Mr Byrne on Free Technology for Teachers.
Having recently sat through a presentation in which the presenter read a paper and did not look at the audience I was reminded of those presentations done by my former students who just read out their research assignments instead of talking about their topic with pertinent slides as an aide-memoire.
Although this video is not pitched at genealogy speakers it poses some valid points.
Of course for a genealogy audience the rule might be 10-20-40 (watch the video to see why).

I guess you need 42 point letters for me! A great idea; thank you for posting this.
