Statistics Do Not Tell Complete Story

Recently, I was asked to contribute an article on persuasion to another blog. It is a text article. And, I like the way that it turned out.

Here, is a video presentation of that article. Increasingly, I am inclined to contribute video blogs – in addition to traditional text blogging. Both forms of blogging are attractive and each attracts its own audience.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on both: the topic of video vs. text blogging and on the content of this blog on persuasion.

Here are the Words per Minute Statistics for this article.

  • @475 words.
  • Length is 3:27 minutes
  • WPM Count = 136 – This is slower than my “normal” WPM count of 160.

Welcome to the PowerPoints Blog!

The purpose of this blog is to provide tips and insights to help you create a strong message and to present your points with power. Sometimes you will use MS PowerPoint as one tool to help you with your presentation. But not always.

I will post many articles to help you get the the most out of PowerPoint. And I will upload numerous video lessons demonstrating PowerPoint techniques. However, the content of this blog will not be limited to discussing PowerPoint.

My focus is on helping you to communicate effectively.

Never confuse PowerPoint slides with your message!

As someone once asked, “Did Abraham Lincoln need PowerPoint to deliver the Gettysburg Address?” It is a silly question, of course. But it makes a powerful point:

PowerPoint, alone, can not craft a powerful and persuasive presentation.

PowerPoint does not deliver your message. You do!
