You open your in-box just in time to see a memo from the boss:
“Mandatory meeting this afternoon”
You panic – knowing that you’re about to spend the better part of the day NOT doing all the work that should be done, lamenting how much further behind you’ll be by the time the meeting is over, and agonizing over having to sit through another dreadful PowerPoint presentation.
This familiar scenario plays out across workplaces on a global scale and “Death by PowerPoint” is a real affliction.
Just ask anyone who has had to sit through the drone of a presenter whilst the slides on the screen contain kindergarten level clip-art, cluttered graphics, lots of bullets and so much text you’re left wondering why there was a presenter at all…. you could have just read it yourself and found out the same information.
We’re going to try and fix that with the help of all the PowerPoint resources we have come across over the years and hopefully you’ll walk away with one good tip, one better presentation, and best of all… we’ll save a life.
Highly recommended that you start with Presentation Zen
