“PowerPoint was developed by engineers as a tool to help them communicate with the marketing department — and vice versa. The programmers behind Power- Point saw it as a clever hack — a way to save time and money, instead of creating slides the right way.” —SETH GODIN Origin Story

“Think about what happens when you open PowerPoint. A slide appears that contains space for words — a title and subtitle. Now think about the first thing you see in the dropdown menu under ‘Format.’ It’s ‘Bullets & Numbering.’ The software itself forces you to create a template that represents the exact opposite of what you need.” —CARMINE GALLO For Exam ple

“The slides are for the audience, not the speaker. The purpose of projecting a slide on the wall is to provide a visual representation of the topics being spoken of. The slides should reinforce, not repeat, the words of the speaker.” —ROBERT FROST Long Explanation

Traditional Tina If someone can basically learn everything she needs to by reading my slides, then there’s no reason for her to hear me in person. Savvy Susan Exactly! A slideshow should be presented, not recited; delivered, not read.

“I spent 15 years as a television news anchor. A news producer would never consider building a 30-minute newscast with no graphics over the anchor’s shoulder. Viewers don’t want to see a talking head for that long. It’s boring, no matter how well a person is trained in vocal delivery. Why, then, would I consider giving a 30-minute talk without any visuals?” —CARMINE GALLO
