You Stole Two Hours of My Life! I Hate You! What do you want out of a presentation when you are in the audience? It's a good question to ask yourself the next time your preapring your presentaiton. Think about what you hate when watching others present. Then do the opposite. Maybe it's endless PowerPoint slides filled with lots of text that the presenter is reading to you, a presentation that bores you to death because there is nothing in for you, or any number of other things that drive you crazy, put you to sleep, or make you pray that it would just end. If you hate wasting your valuable time at a presentation that sucks, make sure you aren't making the same mistakes.
