PowerPoint presentations. For better or worse, they have become simply the way things are done, both in companies and in academia, and even beyond, in churches and other settings. So, getting better at delivering PowerPoint presentations, and seeing what not to do, are good career moves.
So, we will talk first here about what NOT to do (more fun). To do so, I will direct you to two sites. First, here is a short article by marketing expert Seth Godin talking about poor Powerpoint presentations, and on how to improve them - read it by clicking http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/01/really_bad_powe.html (yes, that's really him below):
Next, here is a funny video to watch on the subject. See:
(Yes, that is the title, and yes, it is from the MadTV show).
And to close on a positive point, here is a good video on what TO DO in delivering more effective PowerPoint presentations:
So, what can you do to improve PowerPoint presentations you deliver? What’s your best, or worst, PowerPoint story to share with us (about a presentation you gave or one that you saw)? If you have any ideas on this subject, email me a dwyld.kwu@gmail.com and I will post a follow-up. Looking forward to the discussion.
