His slides were very simple, just a couple of words each, and to the point. Instead of having a list of bullets for us to read he actually talked :) And he demoed! They a picture says more than a thousand word. Well, a demo says more than 10,000. @Holger: Lol at the German part ;)

(in consulting, it's all about appearing intelligent ... ) A lot of specialists tend to use very intricate language, specific terminology, long and complicated sentences. The bottomline of the study was that the simpler one speaks (normal words, short sentences) and gets a point across, the more intelligent the listeners perceive him. Chris is a prime example of that. very simple language, can get the non-techies involved and not bore them but still very sound knowledge. AND: it took me 498 out of the 500 slides i looked at to notice that he's german. I once read an article about what makes an intelligent appearence.
