Keen to Wean Yourself off Slides When Presenting?

Keen to wean yourself off-over reliance on slides when #presenting?

Here's a simple tip:

If your first step when preparing a slide presentation is to open up Powerpoint...

STOP IT!

Prepare your slides as LATE in the preparation process as possible.

That way, you'll get clear on the overall flow / story / audience journey FIRST.

If you get too bogged down in slide development too early, you'll end up being taken hostage by them.

And that's not nice - for you or your audience.

One of the best investments in personal development I had at BP was to engage Simon Bucknall as a personal public speaking coach. He was phenomonal and key to my moving from being a very nervous public speaker to a strong and confident one.
