Hi Steve

Really hate it when people criticise PowerPoint. There is nothing wrong with the software, it's the people who don't know how to use it!

In line with your idea this one is really great from Hans Rosling using vegetables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukaspI9Xgyg

David McCandless also very good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zg-C8AAIGg

Not sure why this is still called "Traditional"

Training has been based on "doing" for at least 15 years. 

Anyone doing anything else probably isn't even employed or in business in 2016.

SMEs excluded, that's a different issue.

What annoys you about conferences?

Or you could forget all the rules and do it like Ling Valentine. 

Crazy, but informative and entertaining.

One of my favourite posters states...

"It is the audiences job to sleep and your job to keep them awake"

Impress Your Boss; Use Technology To Get More From Your Training Budget

I attended a webinar last week by a very profficient facillitator. Probably the best one I have ever attended...after 20 minutes I was cheking my email and multi tasking...it is good and definetely part of what "we" should be doing but 15 minutes max I think.

If she couldn't keep my attention then a less experienced person wouldn't last 5 minutes.

More importantly...what did I learn in 60 minutes?

A) No idea

Great article and I agree with most of it but a "talking head" is better than no talking at all in my opinion.

Production costs and technical expertise also rise dramatically when you start moving on from the talking head.

The best example of talking with images I have ever seen is An Inconvenient Truth where Al Gore gives a master class in how it should be done.

Can I ask what the purpose of the "10 commandments" is?

I have only 2 thoughts...

1) If you have no experience of presenting they won't help

2) If you are an experienced presenter they won't help?

Who are they aimed at? The more I read tem the more strange they seem?
