A Speaker with an Overhead Projector

Listened to a great speaker tonight at NSA - CT Chapter. I marvel at the opportunities in the USA. I can attend NSA meetings at the Connecticut chapter and the New England Chapter in Boston because both are within driving distance. This allows me to learn from experienced professionals.

Tonight's speaker does not use PowerPoint - preferring to use the Overhead projector. Yet I again realize that the Pow'Rful Philosophy applies to both technologies - stay away from text, don't read your slides to the audience, and use lots of stories.

Think when you are making your next presentation, even if you use an overhead projector and transparencies. How can you convey your message without reading your slides to your audience.
