Stop boring audiences with your PowerPoint

Too many PowerPoint (and Apple Keynote) presentations put people to sleep instead of engaging and informing them. The slides become distractions rather than reinforcement because many of us fill them with bullet points, sub bullets and sub sub bullets.

Research has shown that because our working memory has limited capacity, this overload gets in the way of learning and understanding. People cannot read and listen to the speaker at the same time.

Bad PowerPoint is not only boring, but it also leads to miscommunication, decreased productivity and loss of business.

Kathy can help you make your PowerPoint an audio visual aid instead of an audio visual crutch.

Learn how to:

• Make slides visually support your ideas
  
• Deliver information in digestible bites
  
• Avoid the overwhelming “data dump”
  
• Use headlines to promote understanding
• Replace bullet points with notes

Kathy offers:

• One-on one coaching (in person or over the phone)
  
• Half-day workshops with small groups
  
• Keynote and breakout presentations for business and association meetings

Don’t let “toxic” PowerPoint undermine your organization. And don’t add to slide overload just because “it’s always been done that way.” Let speaking expert Kathy Kerchner show you a better way to ban bullets and “wow” your audience.
