# Presentations {#presentations}
## Introduction
Giving presentations--talks, lectures, keynotes--is something that every data scientist is going to be called upon to do. Giving _effective_ presentations is a skill that can be learned.
## Theory and methods
I always recommend two books when I get asked about this topic: Garr Reynold's _Presentation Zen_ [@Reynolds_2008] and Nancy Duarte's _slide:ology_ [@Duarte_2008]. There's an ever-so-small amount of overlap between the two, just enough to reinforce the other.
The sub-title of Reynold's book is "simple ideas on presentation design and delivery", and that's as succicnt a description as you could hope for. The associated website has further details, including this post on the website which has the following ["10 tips for Improving Your Presentations Today "](https://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2014/11/10-tips-for-improving-your-presentations-lectures-speeches.html) (actually 11 tips):
1. Turn off the computer
2. Put the audience first
3. Have a solid structure
4. Have a clear theme
5. Remove the nonessential
6. Hook 'em early
7. Show a clear conflict
8. Demonstrate a clear change
9. Show or do the unexpected
10. Make 'em feel
11. Be authentic
Nancy Duarte's book delves deeper into the technical elements of good presentations, from layout to the use of colour. These design elements support the structural ideas that Reynolds promotes; hand in hand, the two books cover the core requirements for making great presentations.
