Business Skill: Don't Kill Your Presentation with PowerPoint Overkill

File Photo

I've seen my share of bad PowerPoint presentations.

They hurt my mind, hurt my soul, and ruin any chance of getting across the a clear message.

Have you walked into a meeting where the lights are dimmed and the show begins. The presenter clicks the mouse again and again, showing you slide after slide until you can take no more. Exasperated, you shut your eyes and doze off.

The following video clip was sent to me to share with you. Learn about common PowerPoint mistakes in a humorous and funny skit. If you have a tip or would like to share a business skill, drop us an email.
