Impressive PowerPoint Presentation for a change
Enjoy this PowerPoint presentation with lots of powerful visuals - along with tips of how to do it yourself. As you view this, remember that PowerPoint is best when used as a visual medium. Text is not a visual even when displayed on a screen. Text is simply text and that does not reach the visual learners.

PowerPoint Tips, Mistakes and Ideas from 2011
What are the best ideas that you can use to improve your PowerPoint Presentations?
What if Your PowerPoint Slides Make You a Liar?
The marketing director of a well known Internet company presented us with fascinating stats about Internet use and users.
I was captivated by the numbers and percentages until he reached the graph slide in his PowerPoint presentation.
One of my colleagues raised his hand to ask a question. The presenter innocently paused to take the question and was blindsided by what happened next.
Black Death Versus PowerPoint
It's estimated that the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) killed 20 to 50 million people in Europe between 1347 and 1351. It's attack was swift and merciless. People didn't know how to deal with this threat. They didn't understand nor appreciate personal hygene nor sewage removol. They were vomitting in the streets - and dieing horibily. Almost half of the European population was eliminated in four years.
How Many Words Can You Have on Your Slides?
This is a question that more presenters need to ask before they speak. How many words should you put on your PowerPoint slides? What is the maximum number of words?
Geoff Ramm Presenting With PowerPoint
I watched my good friend from the UK, Geoff Ramm present at a few conferences. We were fellow speakers on this speaking tour. Geoff is a marketing expert and specializes in Observational Marketing. That means he looks around and reports what he sees – especially what seems to be working.
In his presentations Geoff made the best use of PowerPoint that I’ve seen. Too many speakers use PowerPoint as a crutch or shield. You know those speakers who simply repeat the words on the slide or constantly check the slides so they are reminded of what to say next.

How Many Words Can You Have on Your Slides?
This is a question that more presenters need to ask before they speak. How many words should you put on your PowerPoint slides? What is the maximum number of words?
I wish more people would ask me because I would tell them - zero, zip, nada. PowerPoint slides should be for images only because it is a visual medium. Text is not visual. Images - photos, diagrams and charts are visual.
But, those people don't seem to listen to me.
Here is a tip that business presenters might find more palatable.
"Put as many words but no more on the slide than you can speak in one breath."
That practical advice comes from my friend, colleague and professional speaker, Mark Ellwood. He is a productivity expert who helps business professionals make better use of their most limited resource - time.
The photo above is a picture of a slide from a presentation I attended at a conference in Iran. As you can see - it has way too many words on the slide and no visuals at all. This PowerPoint scourge encompasses the globe.
The bad news is that presenters all around the world have been seduced into delivering boring PowerPoint presentations.
The good news is that presenters all around the world have been seduced into delivering boring PowerPoint presentations.
The wonderful news for you is that you can stand out from the competition by using less words and more visuals on your PowerPoint slides.
Look at your slide and try to read it out loud in one breath. I dare you! Then remove the excess words.
