The PowerPoint Backstage Experience

The PowerPoint Backstage Experience

Episode 110 - PowerPoint has hundreds, if not thousands, of functions and features that are accessed from the ribbon, panels, pop-up dialog boxes, right-clicks and sometimes hidden with CTRL or ALT clicks. Today we focused on PowerPoint's Backstage — all those areas you get to when clicking FILE in the top left. This is a deep dive into PowerPoint functions and setup options, in a primarily a PC-centric episode as the Mac doesn't have quite the same backstage experience. For this one, you may want to have your computer on and PowerPoint open to follow the conversation, it gets geeky really fast!   Full Episode Show Notes http://thepresentationpodcast.com/podcastt/110    Show Suggestions?

Grids, Guides and Gutters

Episode 81 - Grids and Guidelines are two hidden PowerPoint features that few know of, or use. Most do not know they originate from traditional print design and are very powerful design tools for slide design. Even if you cannot immediately recognize them, chances are that virtually every professionally designed print layout is making use of a grid in some way. Gutters are a standard print design element, adapted as "Safe View Area" for video projects, and often overlooked and not addressed in presentation design. Join Nolan, Sandy and Troy, as they get a bit design geeky and talk about how these three traditional design tools can be leveraged in presentation design.   Full Episode Show Notes http://thepresentationpodcast.com/podcast/81    Show Suggestions?

There Are No Mistakes (with Travis Thomas)

There Are No Mistakes (with Travis Thomas)

Episode 67 Presenting is a skill, an art, an act of being courageous and being the focus to a live audience. But, the secret is, the audience does not know your slides, your talking points or what you are going to say. Join an amazing conversation where Troy, Nolan and Sandy are joined by Travis Thomas, author and improv comedian, as we talk about how presenters, like an onstage comedian, need to continue presenting like there are no mistakes - because the audience only knows it was a mistake if you tell them.   Full Episode Show Notes http://thepresentationpodcast.com/podcast/67   Show Suggestions?

Scope Creep and the Boiling Frog

Scope Creep and the Boiling Frog

Episode 66 All Presentation projects all have parameters; what is needed, when it is needed, who needs to approve, how you will be paid. Project scope can be very simple or very robust. One thing that is almost inevitable, the project scope changes before the final design piece is approved. Join Troy, Sandy, and Nolan as they talk about how they setup project scope, and stories of Project Scope that slowly expanded throughout the project timeline.   Full Episode Show Notes http://thepresentationpodcast.com/podcast/66   Show Suggestions?
