Death by Powerpoint. I’m sure you’ve “been there” but hopefully not something you can follow with a “done that”.
Back in May I gave my first public business presentation at a conference by Senator Bob Bennett for rural business owners. I was asked to speak about the use of blogs in businesses since I run the blog for Backcountry.com so I put together a powerpoint presentation, one that I hoped would not put the people to sleep but would give them something to remember.
I tried to use unique images that portrayed the points I wanted to get across. I know it resonated with a few people there (as evidenced by two business owners contacting me post presentation for advice in starting a blog) but I think that I may have committed Coma by Powerpoint which is nigh unto Death by Powerpoint. I’m scratching up as a rookie error and hope to learn from it.
While reading Seth Godin’s blog this morning I came upon an e-book that he wrote about Really Bad Powerpoint. Looking back upon my presentation I can see where I can improve the next time. If you happen to have seen my presentation, sorry for the coma.
