There are many ways to structure your presentation, but the two most common approaches center either on PowerPoint or storytelling. I heavily favor storytelling.

5 more annotation(s)...
- PowerPoint can be tedious. Some presenters pack slides with data, graphs and text, which are often hard to read. Some speakers actually turn their backsides toward the audience, to read aloud from their slides. I don’t advise it.
- Despite its flaws and frequent abuses, PowerPoint can add significant value to a talk when it is not misused.
- One of my dirty little secrets is that without it, I am likely to lose my place while speaking.
- But there’s another reason to include it. PowerPoint can be a great supplement to your talk. I use it to illustrate the stories I tell in the same way photos enhance the articles and blogs I publish.
- I’m a minimalist on text. If I use bullet points, there are usually only one-to-five words per bullet and the font is large enough to read from the back of the room. When I click to a new slide, I pause and let people view it for a moment.
