Presentation Dragon
What is your enemy during your presentation? Notice that I said "What", not "Who is your enemy?"
Your enemy is not the heckler in the room or the A/V crew. Your enemy is the dragon called sameness. Sameness in your slides is your worst PowerPoint enemy.
If you have the same monotonous tone when you speak and the same level of energy then your audience will become numb to your message. You must add variety to your presentations with audience interaction activities and stories and so on.
In your slides text is the root cause of sameness. Line after boring line after boring slide of bullet points numbs your audience. Who can remember what you said on slide 32 as you read slide 65 to your audience? No-one. Not even you.
Overcome sameness in your slides by designing each slide to be unique and memorable. Use high-resolution photographs, limited colour and place slide components assymetrically.
Review your latest slideshow. With this knowledge, how can you slay the dragon of sameness in your PowerPoint slideshows?
