Using PowerPoint to create a presentation has become very controversial in recent years. I used to use it for almost everything I presented, whether it was for real estate trainings, sharing a new concept with teachers, or to teach my own middle school students how to prepare a presentation to use as an oral report.
A few years have passed since I needed to make any kind of presentation to any group, so I didn't give much thought to PowerPoint at all. Then I was asked to speak about internet marketing at a large, live event, and I wondered how I could best get my information across.
My questioned was answered for me when the event planner called to ask for a copy of my presentation. It turned out they were requiring all of the speakers to use PowerPoint at this event.
I struggled for several days, trying to find just the right template and layout. Then I remembered a training from several months ago that had been offered through one of the membership programs I am involved in. I looked through the archives, found the two hour webinar, and created my PowerPoint while I was watching that webinar.
The result is that I now have a presentation that I can carry on a flash drive and keep with me at all times. If someone wants me to speak for thirty to forty-five minutes, I am ready to go on a moment's notice. Speaking from my notes may have been appropriate several years ago, but now my presentations are more professional and entertaining as well.
