Although I agree with this statement in theory, but I feel that verbally giving the answer may not register with some viewers - those who are aural learners will pick up, whereas many of my students didn't understand, till the answer was visually displayed and then re-explained. So, when I ask a question in one slide, I not only explain this verbally, but follow-up with the answer displayed on a subsequent slide. Although this may be boring for those who have understood, the majority (who didn't) now got the point - which is what is the purpose of having the PowerPoint session, in the first place. It shouldn't be a brand-building exercise, but an attempt to transfer knowledge.

@@abdullah.a.nahyan Actually, personally, I don't believe in giving any handouts. My maxim is: Say what you want to say (in the class itself) or else your presentation is incomplete. All doubts should be resolved, while both the student and the lecturer are present. In fact, I encourage my students to make their own notes, based on their own understanding - I don't want them to just mug-up stuff from a handout (which is usually the case, when one is given). But this is only my personal opinion...😉

I loved the video. It’s exactly what I teach my clients. Based on this and some of your other videos, I’d say that our approaches to slides are very similar. Which is why I am curious about one thing. You sometimes seem to use the word “presentation” as a synonym for “slide deck”. For example “... PowerPoint presentation...” I know that almost everyone does the same, but I feel that this reinforces the misconception that the sides are the presentation, i.e. they need to contain everything and be a document that is self explanatory. I would argue that the slides should not make sense without the presenter delivering them and the follow-up document should. Which I think you describe as the “neighbor test” and you seem to be advocating too. This is why I keep insisting with my clients that they use the word “presentation” for something that is much bigger (a presenter delivering a talk and using slides as visual support for what is being said) and that they call the visual support, if it comes in the shape of slides, a “slide deck” or just “slides”. I wander what your thoughts on this are. Thanks in advance and have a lovely weekend.

Excellent Video, Leila. I'm sure you must have faced PowerPoint - Excel link hell while creating slide decks month over month. In simple words, it's just chaotic link management and Microsoft has never given any focus to it. Though, there are some brilliant add-ins like "Macabacus" and "Upslide" for robust link management, but they are damn expensive. Would be great if you can share your experience on this topic or suggest some not too expensive add-in for coming out of this hellish situation every analyst is facing in almost every company. Some of the pain points every analyst faces: 1. Breaking the links in PowerPoint linked to Excel breaks the animation also and one has to build it all over again. 2. Copying the ppt files from one folder to other folder does not change the links in slides automatically and user cannot change all the links to a single Excel file in one shot. It has to be done link by link. 3. If user starts the PowerPoint Slide Show and if it has links to Excel, it will hang the slide show and will first update all the links one by one by opening and closing the Excel file time and again for every link and user will walk away from his/her laptop. 4. Updating links in ppt file is a pain if the linked Excel file is not open. PowerPoint will open and close the linked Excel file for every link and the CPU usage will go to 100% causing it to hang and sometimes will corrupt the linked excel file also. All the hard work is lost. There is no good add-in available for this apart from the expensive ones I've highlighted earlier. :(

I work in a bank. Throughout my 20yr career in banking most people who put together slide presentations could just as easily write the same thing in WORD. Bullet point after bullet point. Paragraph after paragraph. It’s just in slides as opposed to pages. I’ve recently watched some of these videos and have adapted much of this slack presenting to do the following: - summarise the detail - add a visual representation of the summary wording - animate the visual by telling the story as part of the presentation. PowerPoint animations can be very powerful in engaging an audience if done with a bit of thought. I find making presentations much more enjoyable using the above basic techniques.

Often our marketing and branding colleagues come up with templates which have them and we are told to use them without exception to have a consistent look and feel.
