Death by PowerPoint? Not with my Presentations!
Have you ever heard the phrase "Death by PowerPoint"? Did it happen to your attendees or students? Stop blaming PowerPoint. It's just a tool! Start blaming yourself, your lack of preparation, lack of a good dry-run, lack of a good story!
Often, people come to me after my sessions (even after the virtual ones, yes, you can spread enthusiasm also during a virtual session!) and tell me that they liked what they saw. Still, they liked, even more, the energy and the stories that I said to convey my points. I was using PowerPoint, and I didn't kill them. In some cases, I resurrected them from previous dull performances.
Do you want to improve as a Public Speaker? You can start here:
- Follow my other blog!
- You can also take a look at my Public Speaking for Geeks Succinctly free e-book. Follow-up volume is coming soon; better reread the old one before the new one is published!
- One of the best videos about Public Speaking: How to rock the stage. Another great video on how to be creative: The 7 Stages of Creativity. And finally, to complete James Whittaker's trilogy, a great video about The Art of Storytelling.
- If you speak Italian, you can join my Remote Public Speaking Workshop in April, at a very special price.

Please stop killing your audiences, improve your stories, improve your presentations, improve your career!
