I talk for about that. I try to leave 15 min for Q and A. I get peppered with questions all over the board.

Jim Labadie had a pretty big influence over my presenting skills. I was okay before, but I really went back and refined my product after I saw him speak one year.

One thing that I do now is to video tape most of my presentations. I hate to watch myself on video, but it is really helpful for refining my presentations and fixing any tics or quirks I have. At first I was stunned how much I say the words, "Uh," and "you know." It's rough but necessary if you really want to get good.
