The irony the deck presents 3 very different presenters to show that you don't need to be Tony Robbins to be passionate.
If you can't be passionate, don't make it a presentation. Passionate doesn't need to mean over-the-top, but it means speaking on the topic effectively and in a way that reflects believing there's a reason for these people to sit there and listen to you.
No one is forcing people to do presentations, but once you put people in a situation where they're expected to give you their undivided attention for a block of time, those are very reasonable table stakes.
There's always blog posts, articles, mailing lists, HN posts, etc. if you don't believe there's a strong need for people to set aside time consume your information in the form of a presentation.

- BoorishBears 1y agoAh sorry, I gave way too much credit to the reader. Please do continue to give bad presentations and insist it's just not in you to do better.
