DeathbyPPT

As much as people talk about “Death by Powerpoint”, many of us still use Powerpoint despite its many shortcomings. So how can we make our Powerpoint talks better?

This video reviews 5 great rules to live by. Interestingly, this dynamic video was built using Powerpoint by Nancy Duarte from Duarte Design. Of note, Duarte Design was the company behind the stunning slides which Al Gore used to present his compelling talk on An Inconvenient Truth.

  1. Treat your audience like king.
  2. Spread ideas and move people.
  3. Help them see what you are saying.
  4. Practice design, not decoration.
  5. Cultivate healthy relationships.

Less is more, on Powerpoint.
