Pecha Kucha was developed as a presentation format to allow design and creative types to share their passions and show off their work. The format is very tight. You have to present with 20 slides and each slide is shown for 20 seconds.

The winter had been atypically cold, so much so that all I could hear in this apartment complex was our heating units working overtime. At one point this afternoon, it got so warm in Tucson, Arizona, that my dog refused to walk. I had to carry him home and try again after it cooled down. That was unusual for this area in mid February. But not unwelcome. After two years away from New York Metro, I still feel guilty not being part of the collective suffering during the polar vortexes.

If you “test it” at 15 minutes using your usual fast pace of 185 words per minute, your client will run overtime if he speaks at a slower rate. How many words do you speak per minute? How many words does your client speak per minute? . You need to know these numbers. Speechwriting success depends on this math. Suppose you have to write a speech that should run 15 minutes.

You can be the audience's best friend: Moderators, if wise and deft, can keep the talkative panelist from going overtime, and can help make sure the questions have plenty of time. If you've been feeling kinda sorry for panel moderators, with such a small role to play, you're not alone--but you are mistaken.

Those who work in radio or television know that time is a finite resource and going overtime is the enemy. Do you consider time in every speech or presentation you give? If you are media savvy , the answer has to be yes. To consider: in your next presentation of any kind, rehearse your talk, timing it as you go. This will let you know right away what stays and what you throw overboard. Think about 'nice to know' versus 'need to know,' especially in educational type talks.

One of the quickest ways to bomb is to go overtime or try to stuff too much information in too little time. If the audience is really great , it sometimes makes you want to go overtime because things are going so well. I don't know which one of these schools is right, so I simply make a statement to the audience sometime during the talk (usually the beginning or end) that I will not go overtime.
