A Little Less Presentation. A Little More Conversation

Presentations are stereotyped. A speaker stands in front of an audience, uses PowerPoint to guide a talk. And says very little that departs from the slides being shown.

Frequently, the speaker provides a handout or electronic version of the PowerPoint as a record of the talk. Depending on the nature of the talk, a few minutes may be left at the end for questions.

This format is almost universal. And it takes place thirty to forty million times a day, according to some estimates. It’s led to a new expression … Death by PowerPoint … one slide at a time.

In this episode we speak with Eric Bergman who believes with a little less presentation and a little more conversation … we can make presentations more interesting, and ultimately effective.

And we can relegate the term Death by PowerPoint to the dust heap of history.

Guest: Eric Bergman, BPA, ABC, APR, MC, FCPRS
