Exterior Content
Exterior Content - Everything in your presentation other than your Powerpoint.
The best presentations include practiced hand gestures, polished verbal delivery, and some form of crowd interaction.

• Use your PowerPoint as an aid to your presentation, not as your presentation
• Be sure that your Exterior Content and your Interior Content are different
