PowerPoint Makeover for the Lawyer Guy
I did a ‘pre-review’ of Cliff Atkinson’s new book Beyond Bullet Points a few weeks ago. I have since bought the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of great tips and advice on giving more effective presentations. I’ll do a more full featured review of the book at a later date. Even if you don’t use PowerPoint, this book has a lot of great tips for putting together better presentations.
Cliff put out a call to do PowerPoint ‘makeovers’ in the style of his book and I sent him one of my mediations. Using the principles in the book and with Cliff’s help and feedback from others, we’ll do a makeover. There’s a discussion group for the makeover, so mosey on over and say your piece.

In addition to my mediation, Cliff is also doing makeovers on the following PowerPoint presentations:
Selling an income investing approach for retirement
Introducing Kensei engineering to the packaging industry
Writing effective objective test items
Tapping into new marketing opportunities
Educating students about financial aid
Introducing the balanced scorecard approach
Persuading an audience about a ballot issue
Introducing a software QA process
This should be interesting to watch. I’ll keep people posted as it goes along.
