The Video of Don McMillan's was extremely funny as well as having valid points in it, which is a very effective way to get your point across. The lecture its self dealt with all the ins and outs of power point usage for speeches and though the facts and figures where a nice piece of information to have it was all just revision for me. Having done country week Debating for 3 years most of it was skills and tips I already know but practice makes perfect they say.
