Beating Powerpoint Overload
Posted By Rob Millard - 1 Comments -
Ever felt like dozing off during a PowerPoint presentation? It's probably not your fault. Research suggests that conventional approaches with bullet points and text overload the mind's ability to assimilate and understand the information being presented, causing a 'sleep reaction.' This, of course, can be disastrous. Imagine if the presentation in question is you presenting the new strategy to the assembled firm, and 90% of them leave not having "got" what you were trying to say! And we wonder why so much strategy falls flat and is never executed!
Cliff Atkinson, author of Beyond Bullet Points, is presenting a one-hour complimentary webinar called How to Prevent PowerPoint Overload - Aligning your multimedia message with the way the mind works. All you need to "attend" is access to the internet and a telephone.
Atkinson designed the presentations that helped persuade a jury to award a $253 million verdict to the plaintiff in the US's first Vioxx trial in 2005, which Fortune magazine called "frighteningly powerful." The webinar takes place on 23 March 2006, at 12 noon United States Eastern Time. Click here to register (for free.) I'll certainly "be there."
