Everyone knows the feeling of attending a dreary and formulaic presentation where dense lumps of text are read verbatim from the screen. The expression “death by PowerPoint” says it all. But it need not be that way. With a little time and effort anyone can add life to their presentations.   The PowerPoint Detox is a straightforward, practical guide that helps readers prepare effective slides, improve their presenting style, make themselves understood, and enhance their message.  It is designed to appeal to anyone who needs to use PowerPoint: new presenters and those with some experience, those who have had some training and those who have not.  With sample slides and plenty of examples reproduced in PowerPoint style, The PowerPoint Detox is a how-to book that will help readers add explanatory power, style and professionalism to their presentations.
