If you find using traditional linear PowerPoint presentations restrictive and boring then you need to take a look at Robert A. Lane’s website on Relational Presenting.

Robert and his team have developed an inspirational way of harnessing the functionality already built in to PowerPoint to allow flexible presentations that can be customised on the fly. The Relational Presenting methodology may change forever the way you look at and utilise PowerPoint.

I love the approach because it fits with everything I have been striving to do with visual aids

  • Increase the flexibility and relevance of your presentations
  • Be able to choose the level of detail you go into and change it during the presentation without leaving your presentation
  • Increase audience recall my reducing the amount of words on your slides and increasing the visual content of your presentation
  • Follow the principle of one main idea or concept per slide.

I recently bought Robert’s book and have been working through the clear step by step tutorials provided. I can honestly say I have learnt more about PowerPoint in the last 5 days than I did in the previous ten years. He also offers an online workshop process which you can try out for free via the website.

If you want to get more out of PowerPoint you must take a look at this website.
