// Presentations & Communication
Start From The Last Slide
Presentations fail because they start with slides, not messages. When you get in a car, what's the first thing you do? You enter a destination in Waze. You don't start driving and see where you end up. But when we build a presentation, we start with the data, the graphs, the slides - and forget to ask: what do I want the audience to say when they leave? This talk teaches you to build backward - from the last slide.
