Then watch this PK that is a little less intimidating:

  1. It was quite obvious that the PK on PK was done by a professional. The transitions between slides were seemless and there were no awkward pauses. Two things that were most helpful for me: 1. Stick to the big picture. Just because some piece of information may be "interesting" does not make it significant to the presentation. 2. Organization of images. Images should aid the story telling and help things move more quickly. They should not draw all of the focus and distract the audience.
