DESCRIPTION
Too many of us, at too many events, are painfully required to sit through too many important presentations that are ruined by dreadful PowerPoint. If presenters choose to use this powerful tool, they can benefit themselves and their audiences by learning some basic strategies and guidelines. Death by PowerPoint Prevention provides some of these guides. The FREE accompanying learning guide is available at http://solutionsforresilience.com/articles. Note: When slide decks are posted on SldeShare and other online sites they need more text to make sense to the viewer. During speaking events the presenter delivers the full meal deal message. Patricia Morgan helps her audiences strengthen their everyday resilience at work and home. With a MA in Clinical Psychology, she presents to thousands of people each year aiming to lighten their load, brighten their outlook, and strengthen their hardiness. Audiences describe Patricia’s message as meaningfully fun, surprisingly insightful and delightfully uplifting. She has helped train speakers for United Way, served as an Impact Speaker, is a Past President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), Calgary, and the creator of the CAPS Fast Track program for emerging professional speakers. In those capacities she has helped others find their messages, craft their stories and deliver impactful presentations. Patricia is the recipient of the Spirit of CAPS for her contribution to the Canadian speaking profession.
