10.   Better PPT Templates:  It’s inevitable that people will still continue to use PPT templates even as much as designers encourage others not to include them in their presentations. So, why not have better options?

9.  Big Visuals/Minimal Text:  Our business culture is making progress on this one, but we are still seeing way too many bullet point presentations out there.

8.  A Book on Presentation Storytelling:  There are lots of great books (Presentation Zen and Slideology) on presentation design and delivery, but nothing is solely dedicated to presentation storytelling.

7.  Embedded Video:  Stock photography is growing in popularity. We would like to see this same trend with embedded video.

6.  Motion Design:  We would love to see more motion design in slide decks.

5.  Personal Presentations:  This is what we call “YOU Decks.” It would be great to see more personal presentations showcased on sites like Linkedin or even sites like YouTube or Vimeo.

4.  Honesty and Credibility:  We have seen our fair share of “posers.”  Let’s bring an end to it.

3.  Stories:  Humans have been telling stories forever, but we tend to forget the power of a story when giving a presentation.

2.  A New Software Platform:  Is there something better than PowerPoint or Keynote?

1.  A Presentation Revolution:  Overall, we just want to see some big changes in the way presentations are done today.

And finally… to help get you in the spirit this Holiday season, we have included a fun video below.
