I received an invitation to a webinar on How To Create Slides That Don't Suck today.  I simply had to laugh since much of what I have seen come from this organization has pretty much sucked in the way of their visual media presentations.

I look at the lighting rig points, screen placement, stage design. I am looking for the mistakes and trying to figure out how they created a special effect. Recently I attended an event and I wrote down the following steps...

Eight Power Points!

Posted by: Robert Grossman
Date: 01 May 2009
Presentation
Here are 8 Power Points for great presentations: 1. Rehearse, Rehearse, and Rehearse. So many executives wing their presentations or prepare them on the plane.
