In today’s ultra-competitive business environment which is riskier: doing what everyone else does with bullet-filled, read-from-the-screen presentations or stepping up, being brave and creating a presentation that engages and connects? I would certainly argue the latter.
Communication is a critical skill in business success and we all know that little communication happens in the normal PowerPoint presentation. If you and your organization are to stand out from the tedious masses then get the bulk of your text off the screen, show your audience the meaning behind the numbers instead of displaying bloated tables and use powerful, clear images to tell your unique story.
You will be the one in a hundred or maybe even a million who connects and inspires.
