Stories and narratives that touch us emotionally have power to transform us. When hearing a moving speech, story or talk, we feel that it is delivered effortlessly but we know it doesn’t happen on its own.

When you’re tasked with a business presentation, there’s more on the line than making yourself understood. Your goals are bigger: winning new business, shifting the direction of your business, or adopting new tactics, to name just a few.

PowerPoint uses slides with a horizontal or “Landscape” orientation. The software was designed as a convenient way to display graphical information that would support the speaker and supplement the presentation. The slides themselves were never meant to be the “star of the show” (the star, of course, is your audience). People came to hear you and be moved or informed (or both) by you and your message. Don’t let your message and your ability to tell a story get derailed by slides that are unnecessarily complicated, busy, or full of what Edward Tufte calls “chart junk.” Nothing in your slide should be superfluous, ever. Your slides should have plenty of “white space” or “negative space.”

There’s something about a great presentation. It leaves you thinking, pondering, and questioning. It excites and inspires. In short, it teaches you something special you didn’t know before. Shouldn’t all students be able to do that? Mia MacMeekin from An Ethical Island knows a thing or two about creativity. She also knows about student engagement. Just check out her infographics, like the one below. This one is all about presentation tips for students.

The whole ‘Blended learning’ thing turned out to be an excuse for ‘Blended teaching’. It's largely used as an excuse for using teaching techniques you've used before with a couple of new things thrown in, whereas the promise had been delivery based on an analysis of learners and learning (the clue was in the second word – learning). To partly rectify this, here’s ten questions you may want to ask to inform your blend, questions about your learners. It’s easy to ignore learners when teaching but teaching, remember, is a means to an end, not an end in itself, and that end is learners and learning.

Text is tricky. Looks easy but on screen it is so easy to make it difficult to read, even unreadable. You have to keep a cool head and resist the temptation to make it glitzy, noisy and ‘cool’ in favour of the clipped, readable and comprehensible. This tension between look and literacy is real, and needs balance, but you can make things look great and readable at the same time. That’s real design.

Writing is not as easy as many think. It’s more than just sitting down and typing. The very process takes concentration and inspiration, but not all days are motivational that way. Sometimes, writing is like pushing a mountain to move. It won’t budge no matter how hard you try or effort you put into it. However, instead of trying to move the mountain, why not just take a nice walk and climb over it?
