At one time or another, we have all endured the grueling punishment of “Death by PowerPoint.” Whether it is the “Presentation to Nowhere” or the all-too-common “Read Every Bullet on Every Slide to the Audience” presentation, or the “I Can’t Believe They Called a Meeting for THIS” presentation, we have either been personally subjected to this torture or worse yet, inflicted it on others. The truth is that many of the PowerPoint presentations we have sat through should never have been given in the first place. Sometimes, the best slide deck is the one that never happened.
So, what are we to do? How can we communicate to our audience effectively and without putting them to sleep with “content rich” slides? It begins with identifying which of the core types of presentations your information would best be suited, and which medium of communication will be most effective. In many cases, that may not be a slide deck.
This is not a presentation about how to hold your hands or projecting your body language as you stand on the stage. There are plenty of presentations on that topic available on YouTube. This presentation will teach you that if you begin with simple and powerful content you will make a more powerful impression on your audience than a bloated slide deck that you just read back to them off the projection screen. Lastly, if you experience nervousness when giving presentations, you will learn a 100% guaranteed method to end presentation anxiety once and for all.
