Microsoft “PowerPoint” is like a loaded AK47: very dangerous in untrained hands!
Yeah right !!…Actually, PowerPoint can be a marvelous and versatile weapon for an experienced communicator. But your ‘PowerPoint’ slides are NOT your presentation:
YOU are your presentation. And all the whizzy visual technology inside PowerPoint is usually either ignored in favour of mindless and useless ‘bullet points’ or overused leading to instant audience ‘switch-off’.
However great you think your slide show is the audience will actually be picking up more in the way of communication clues from your body language and your voice tone than from any slide show. I will talk more about Body Language and Voice Tone in my next ‘post’.
