Tips for a better talk (and slides)

Have a running example. Motivate (start) the talk with the example. I (the listener) need to know where you're taking me otherwise I'll tune off, and I need to know that you are not solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Diagrams and pictures often go down well. Use arrows, boxes etc. To show the structural overview and to compactly/nicely/visually bring everything together.
