Death By PowerPoint ?

Powerpoint may well be the most easy to use and powerful tool that is ridiculed by most. It’s not a problem of the tool, but of the user.
I have seen speakers using slides with hundreds of words in a single slide. They keep looking at the slide and speak to the slide. Problem is of the user, not the tool.
Simple turn around to make PowerPoint cool again. This is what I do now.
- Communicate your message by telling stories
- Use pictures. If you use one picture per slide, you are winning the attention war of the audience.
- Don’t be afraid to use many slides, because you use many pics. Yet be focused on your message and practice your story telling so that you are not wasting much time.
- engage audience in to the story.
Death is not caused by powerpoint. It’s caused by the user.
