VIDEO SUMMARY I want to start with a very simple concept. If you follow this concept, you are on your way to giving a great presentation. Here is the concept. Stop giving long PowerPoint presentations. People hate long PowerPoints. In my opinion, that is the number one reason people hate going to meetings. So please, if you get nothing else from this video, try to make your PowerPoint presentations shorter and you will give better presentations. Let me explain why this works. Last week we looked at the types of meetings. Here is the list:

1. Status Meeting
2. Brainstorming
3. Operational
4. Training
5. Team building Let’s run through this list. Status meetings should not have any PowerPoint presentation, you are just going through a task list of items. Brainstorming should not have any PowerPoint presentation, you are likely writing on a white board as a group. Operational meetings are about making a decision and you should need minimal slides. Training is the only meeting that needs long PowerPoint presentations, because it is like a class. And of course Team building shouldn’t have any PowerPoint presentations. So most meetings you should not even be doing a PowerPoint presentation. The point I am trying to get across is that meetings are not really about the presentation, they are about engagement with your co-workers. So in terms of PowerPoint slides, less is usually more. The problem we are addressing is that people hate meetings. It does not have to be that way. People should love going to meetings. Imagine your work week, if every meeting you went to you felt engaged, and you were making great business decisions, and meetings were an effective use of your time. That is what meetings should feel like.
