Synopsis

This book explores the Relational Presentation process, where a presenter has dynamic, random access to hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of visually rich slides while presenting. Instead of robotically advancing through a single linear slide show full of bullet points, he or she can illustrate spontaneous thoughts on-the-fly, answer audience questions, skip or add material, and otherwise sculpt a message to the situation at hand, all while using the same PowerPoint software everyone else is using. Relational presenters approach an audience very differently compared to most speakers. Their style is conversational, flexible and responsive. This book is a condensed black-and-white version of a larger, full-color Relational Presentation textbook designed for use with PowerPoint 2003 or XP. The condensed edition features all the most critical strategies and techniques presenter need to know for implementing Relational Presentation methods and includes a wealth of illustrations and hands-on directions. It offers a fast, inexpensive way of learning how to be powerfully interactive with viewers, and have a lot of fun while doing so.
