Practicing what you preach – Simple Slides
Posted in PowerPoint Tips, Presentation Skills on July 28, 2008 by Gavin Meikle
I have been getting some great feedback recently regarding the quality of my slide sets. Of course all are built using the principles I advocate in this blog and in my workshops i.e. no bullet points, minimal text, great pictures and logical story flow.
At one recent talk a delegate said that he didn’t know it was even possible to construct a presentation without bullet points! He had never ever seen one like mine before! Based on that kind of comment I just had to post an example to show that it is possible. Take a look and use the arrows below the player to advance the slides
Why not upload your own examples to slideboom and I’ll be delighted to showcase the best ones.
Hi Gavin
Nice slides. They look very smart and I can see why your delegate was impressed.

Nice slideshow, Gavin. I too, find that my clients and audiences seem shocked to see slides with no bullets. Of course, they also have many arguments about why this method won’t work in their particular industry. Lots of reframing to do.
My slideshows are on Slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/coachlisab
I wonder if Slideboom is better at dealing with shading and animations than Slideshare. . . some of my slides don’t look right on Slideshare.
