PowerPoint tip 7.
 
Dakara nani? (so what?)
In Japanese I often say to myself, “dakara nani?” or “sore
de…?”which translate roughly as “so what?!” or “your
point being…?” I say this often while I am preparing my
material. When building the content of your presentation
always put yourself in the shoes of the audience and ask
“so what?” Really ask yourself the tough questions
throughout the planning process. For example, is your
point relevant? It may be cool, but is it important or help
your story in a very important way…or is it fluff? Surely
you have been in an audience and wondered how what
the presenter was talking about was relevant or supported his point. “So what?” you
probably said to yourself. “So what?” — always be asking yourself this very
important, simple question. If you can’t really answer that question, then cut that bit of
content out of your talk.
