More than PowerPoint

We live in a world where there is color, life, and infinite possibilities. Why is it then that in most presentations we inevitably bore our audiences by reading and presenting in a way that detracts from our purpose and message?  By simply paying attention to style and design methods we can infinitely increase our likelihood of being heard.

There are reasons that we present a certain way.  The human brain can only accept so much data at a time.  So to avoid overwhelming our audiences and thereby losing our audiences we need to limit the number of points we are attempting to make to 3-4.
