In a recent High Impact Presentations workshop, I encouraged my participants to try something new. I asked them to start their presentations without the slide on the screen – with a black screen (did I just hear you gasp?).
They started their presentations by BEING WITH their audience. Their introduction might have been a story, a current, relevant event or a situation they described. As they moved into the “meat” of their presentation – they brought up their first slide on the screen, then used the slide to illustrate what they were speaking about.
But here’s the big thing
The slide was in the background and the presenter was the in the foreground as the expert.
In movie lingo, the speaker was the main (feature) attraction. Too often, it’s the other way around, and that leads to dull and boring slide shows rather than enlivening and interesting presentations.

1. Turn on your computer and projector before your presentation and test that they are working.
2. Open PowerPoint, go into the Slideshow mode to bring up your first slide.
