Really bad powerpoint,help my brain is overloaded and the science of powerpoint overload.

This guys is talking about Communication how it should help people to get adopted to your point of view, to help them understand why you’re excited he also talks about how our brains have two sides, so he is just saying that powerpoint should be used as communication mre and more not just boring presentation.The right side is emotional, musical and moody. The left side is focused on dexterity, facts and hard data. When you show up to give a presentation, people want to use both parts of their brain. So they use the right side to judge the way you talk, the way you dress and your body language. Often, people come to a conclusion about your presentation by the time you’re on the second slide. After that, it’s often too late for your bullet points to do you much go.he also tralks about the four components of presentation.First, make yourself cue cards. Don’t put them on the screen. Put them in your hand. Now, you can use the cue cards you made to make sure you’re saying what you came to say.
Second, make slides that reinforce your words, not repeat them. Create slides that demonstrate, with emotional proof, that what you’re saying is true not just accurate.the third one is to create a written document. Put in as many footnotes or details as you like. Then, when you start your presentation, tell the audience that you’re going to give them all the details of your presentation after it’s over, and they don’t have to write down everything you say. Remember, the presentation is to make an emotional sale. Fourth, create a feedback cycle. If your presentation is for a project approval, hand people a project approval form and get them to approve it, so there’s no ambiguity at all about what you’ve all agreed to the second one is just talking about how powerpoint should be used.and the third guy is talking about how we should know how to use powerpoint how how we can stop using them in a bad way.
