slides:none on file

Five-minute roast of bad presentation habits that names seven concrete errors and shows how they play out: hide behind the podium, ramble about personal and company trivia, read every line of every slide, cram slides with dense text and multiple tiny graphs, paste indecipherable architecture diagrams, use bait and switch promises (no demo, marketing slides instead), then panic on stage through repeated apologies and failed repairs. Practical, rapid checklist of what not to do.
