Blast from the Past

Did you know that presenters were boring audiences with text-laden slides before laptops were even invented? This was before my time. This week I was exposed to antiquated equipment that impressed on me that the need for visuals existed decades before the Pow'Rful Process was created.

A speaker used slides on an overhead projector to support his speech. The slides would have embarrassed any Pow'Rful Presenter. 5 slides in 5 minutes, all with text that the audience read faster than the presenter. No color. No images. Just text.

This is proof that presenters that do not use PowerPoint will benefit from the Pow'Rful Philosophy as well. Remember, use visuals and stories to communicate, not your text heavy slides.
