What this blog is - and isn't - about

This site - Extreme Presentation - is focused on presentations that face some kind of persuasion challenge: to persuade an audience to change their minds about something, to do something, or to stop doing something else. It is not focused on presentations that are merely designed to inform. It is particularly oriented towards presentations that seek to persuade their audiences of recommendations that are complex and/or controversial. Persuasion of complex or controversial recommendations is the most difficult task for presentation that I know of, and therefore I intend to concentrate on this toughest challenge.

The site is focused on the design of such presentations. It is not focused on delivery of the presentation, i.e. actually presenting the material, because I believe that there are already many excellent resources for this.
