I quit Powerpoint when I learned that people cannot simultaneous read text on a screen and listen to a presenter. I moved to giving handouts after the presentation.
Interesting. In a workshop last week, I ran things backwards. We did a three hour conversation, using an “anchor” slide and then I did the slides in retrospect based on the conversation, bringing in what was required, which I could not have known before the session. It worked really well….
When I explain the Circle of Impact, I often use the problem of communication. What I found was the notion that communication was the delivery of information to a group. This is what Powerpoint does. The focus should really be on communicating, through conversation, obviously, what the group needs to know and how would they live to receive it.

That is excellent.

Your approach last week was perfect for that.
