This is fluff....the equivalent of a self-help book that uses lots of words but doesn't actually teach anything. If you want to learn something about presenting data, look up how McKinsey, BCG, and other major consultants create their presentations. There's tons of actual professionals on YouTube that share their legitimate insight on how people who actually make money delivering high-end presentations. This video is ridiculous....almost insulting.
