Professionally Speaking-Death by Support Act

When was the last time you saw a great Powerpoint offering? I mean something really engaging?Unfortunately many of us are still being subjected to boring, overloaded slides with the presenter making us feel like idiots as they read the content from the slide! 

In the professional speaking world, the two reasons a presenter would subject their audiences to a boring, content loaded powerpoint display is either they don't know their content/presentation or they have no presentation skills.

PS Tip: Consider your audience and respective learning styles, YOU ARE YOUR BEST VISUAL! Use as little text as possible, but lots of photos (a photo says a thousand words!). It is a SUPPORT ACT, not the main act and treat it as such.
