power my point!

I do more and more powerpoint in this job and this guy has great rules for it:

Working Smart: Five Rules for Better PowerPoint Presentations

Rule #1: Don’t give PowerPoint center stage.

Rule #2: Create a logical flow to your presentation. Better yet, tell a story.

Rule #3: Make your presentation readable.

Rule #4: Remember, less is more. Fancy slide transitions and fly-ins get old quickly.

Rule #5: Distribute a handout.

Finally, I would encourage you to hone your PowerPoint skills like you would any other essential business skill. The more you work at it, the better you will get. And the better you get the more compelling your presentations will become. If you haven’t done so already, you might want to start with my list of PowerPoint resources.
