End Powerpoint Co-Dependency - redux

This is one of my frequent - um - rants. We often talk a great game - “building personal relationships” “Listening more than talking.” etc. - and then when we actually get the folks in the room, what do we do? Dim the lights (so they can’t see us, much less each other), and go into PP pontification while they’re forced to stare politely at cells that are neither creative nor memorable. So, stop your presentation before it kills again! (the next thing it kills may be your sales.) Warning - the link takes you to a thoughtful post with lots of good points and info links - but it’s also got snark (which I love, but it may not be for everyone.)

    […] If you can’t get the idea across in 400 seconds, it’s either not that great an idea or you probably shouldn’t be presenting it. (It also helps if you actually have an idea before you start making all those purty slides.) Related Posts: Powerpoint Co-Dependency End Powerpoint Co-Dependency Redux […]
