How we can help

Too many people fall asleep during presentations. Or they forget the main points. You can keep that from happening with a lecture to remember, even without any visual effects.

PowerPoint. The type of slide shows presented on PowerPoint is losing its appeal in the boardroom and conference center. Why? Because today's PowerPoint technology is a recipe for yawning: line up your data, crowd it onto a slide, turn off the lights, and repeat the words and numbers on screen, one still slide after another. Add some cartoons, place fancy edges on each screen, make sure the company logo gleams from every slide, toss in illustrations. Same result. The reality is, according to presentation expert Edward Tufte, "The standard PowerPoint presentation elevates format over content." You lose the audience, and the more gimmicks you throw at them, the sooner they're gone.

Ideas for adding life to a presentation

Save slides for when you need to show something specific.
Go from a slide showing "everything" for perspective to the piece of the content you want to talk about.
Tell stories based on your key points.
Project a video background.
Add animation, motion and three-dimensional images for flashy (and costly) presentations

Technical skills needed for high-end presentation tools are probably more than you have time to master. You can settle for "small" improvements with simpler programs or simplify the programs you're comfortable using.

Don't let the "whiz bang" of features overwhelm the key points you want to make. Showing off the latest and the flashiest may not be appropriate. With some practice you can transfix your audience with an engaging personal speaking style, a single slide or a three-dimensional model, and a handout summarizing your key points.
