• Verbal, visual, or none of the above

By Graham Neil, Presentation Consultant, 123PPT.com

A wise man once said never mix politics and PowerPoint. Well he obviously never worked for any TV network, because it seems the only thing I see and hear these days are numbers from election polls on one channel, or the animated charts on another.

But do pictures speak louder than words and does the visual have greater effect than the verbal? When you address your audience how can you be sure that you are using the right balance of formal address, and visual aids?

• Every good presenter knows a picture is worth a 1000 words.

By Louise Harding, Director of Photo and Image laboratory, 123PPT.com

If you've ever been a member of an audience listening to a presenter crawl their way through an uninspired monologue, murdering what might otherwise have been an interesting topic or theme, then you most probably sat there falling asleep. Perhaps you were kind, and were only doodling on your notepad? Perhaps you began checking your mobile phone for messages, or maybe even turned to chat with your colleague?

Hardly a presentation to remember, or the stuff that dreams are made from is it? So why do so many presenters detail every point to their audience when every good presenter knows a picture is worth a 1000 words.
