    Rubbish, Inc Testimonials


    – Robert Johnson:
    “I use Rubbish, Inc. for all my rubbish
    requirements- it’s their professional staph and
    their famously trashy service that really makes
    the difference.”
    – John Robertson:
    “Without Rubbish, Inc. life is just a sequence of
    days extending one after another; a giant garbge
    heap, signifying nothing.”

    Exterior Content

    Exterior Content - Everything in your


    presentation other than your Powerpoint.
    The best presentations include practiced hand
    gestures, polished verbal delivery, and some form
    of crowd interaction.
    Exterior Content Help

    • Use your PowerPoint as an aid to your


    presentation, not as your presentation
    • Be sure that your Exterior Content and
    your Interior Content are different
    • Know your presentation space and
    execute your gestures and volume
    accordingly

    5) Rely even more on Exterior Content
