PPT: Be Persuasive with Your Words

I've been promoting this idea for a couple years now. The point I always make is that YOU are the presentation - not the slides.
BetterPresenting: Can you tell your story with no text at all?
The other day I was working with a client on a presentation that had to be less than 10 minutes, and he was frustrated with the challenge of creating slide content for a talk so brief.

I said one thing to him that became a bit of a sea change.

‘Why don’t you forget entirely about slides with text on them?’

[silence]

‘I’ll bet you could be just as persuasive with your words, and your slides could be even more impactful.’
