Have you been asked to put together a talk or presentation for an event?
What’s the first thing you do?
Most likely, you move the mouse pointer over the PowerPoint icon, click and then get busy putting together some slides.
You know how it goes. Heading. Bullet point. Bullet point. Bullet Point.
Or have you ever been at an event when someone delivers a “Death by PowerPoint” presentation? Hundreds of slides with tiny writing which they proceed to read out? They may even say, “Apologies to those at the back of the room, you won’t be able to read this small text.” In truth, the people on the front row will be struggling too.
If you want your talk to stand out. If you want to put together a killer talk then don’t, repeat, don’t go to PowerPoint first. In fact, PowerPoint should be the last thing you open.
My new eBook, “Simple Steps to a Killer Talk”, gives you a better way. Helps you avoid PowerPoint driving your script and becoming your crutch or comfort blanket.
