00:00 If you're giving a PowerPoint presentation, you really, in my opinion, need to have two separate, distinct presentations. 00:07 There is the PowerPoint that you actually project, could be on a small screen. It could be on a 100 foot screen in front of people when you are standing speaking to them. 00:17 That PowerPoint presentation should be devoid of words text, complexity, columns, and complex graphs. 00:25 Instead, it should have images. 00:27 Pictures. If there's a graph, it should show one relationship, two variables at most. 00:35 There is a second PowerPoint presentation that you also need, and that is something that you email to people in advance, or you hand out. 00:44 This PowerPoint can have lots and lots of text, lots of data, complexity, wildly complex graphs, because people can read it. They can print it out. 00:55 They can twist it. 00:57 Turn it. They can start to read it. 00:59 Get hungry, put it down. Go get a ham sandwich. 01:01 Come back and read it and study it again. 01:04 It's a different medium. 01:06 The text medium that you control is simply different from a live presentation where the audience can't control the slides going by now, Microsoft PowerPoint has a notes section where you can put notes in it, lots of data. 01:24 It shows up to anyone you email the PowerPoint to. 01:27 It shows up on any computer screen, but when you're projecting it, it doesn't show up. 01:32 So you can actually have two presentations in one file, or you can have it as two completely different ones. 01:40 If you try to have one PowerPoint that has multi purposes, you are going to fail. 01:46 I understand that's how most people do it, but I'm here to tell you it is not effective.
