大多欧美企业都超级重视presentation skills，不知道这一点，是许多在外企工作的人以为自己怀才不遇的缘故。
所谓presentation，不必然非是powerpoint presentation不可。
外企对治理人员的衡量指标之一有一个selling skill，其实大多即是从presentation里面得来的印象。
外企看重的presentation是所有外企员工展现自己能力最好的平台。
不论是如何的presentation，目的都一样——说服他人同意某一个观点，告知他人他们不了解的事。
下面从技术上谈谈几个步骤及要点：1. Title page或Front page（封面/首页）以powerpoint为例，一个好的presentation的封面页上要有以下几个要素：（1）演示题目（长度不超过一行的60%，如太长，应精简文字或设为两行。
三行为大忌。
）（2）副题目（不必然要有）（3）演示人姓名：经常使用的排版方式是全居中，也能够采纳full block或half block，但要与选用的powerpoint template背景配合。
（4）日期2. Introduction（简介）演示内容的简要介绍。
3. Agenda（演示专题目录）这一点相当重要，目的是给听众一个清楚的脉络，给人层次性强的印象。
但agenda的页面排版要注意：最好不要超过6行，每行注意长度不要超过页面一行的80%，保证页面整体的视觉成效清楚。
4. 演示正文页面字数最忌太多。
注意给页面给白，而且要依照信息的重要性排好顺序，每行字数不要不同太大。
正文页面不要利用全局中方式。
有一种理论说，每行不要超过6个字，有必然的道理，但不必然。
5. 目录页插入依照演示进程插入刚开始时的目录页，标明进程。
以避免观众忘记脉络。
6. Visual aid适当利用视觉辅助手腕很重要，但不要太多，以避免鹊巢鸠占。
所谓视觉辅助指的不是office自带的那些剪贴画，而是各类图形、图标等。
