Trafcom News Podcast 111: Conquering death by PowerPoint

Have you snored through one presentation too many? Or worse, given a snooze-worthy talk?

In this interview, Eric Bergman describes his cure for death by PowerPoint (or other slideware used badly). Author of the recently published book Five Steps to Conquer ‘Death by PowerPoint,” Eric gives us tools that offer a fresh new way of looking at presentations. Specifically, he shares these five steps:

1. Put your audience first
2. Structure the conversation
3. Minimize visual aids
4. Convey your message and personality
5. Answer questions throughout
