In younger years I delivered some pretty dreadful presentations.
An engaged and enthusiastic contributor in meetings but a gibbering fool when presenting slides, particularly the wordy variety. Rabbit like I became transfixed by the demanding text intent on the delivery of every detail.
Someone had a word. “Why not behave as you do in meetings?” enquired my CEO.
Genius.
This simple advice took the PowerPoint monkey off my back. From that day forward I have communicated using pictures and telling stories.
No more sweaty brow, no more dry mouth, no more speed reading.
In fact no more presenting, much more storytelling.
