PainFree Presentations™ - The Comprehensive Presentation Guidebook - onPowerPoint

"A Comprehensive Guide to Successful Projected Presentations"

THE Guidebook to Effective Presentations

PainFree Presentations will revolutionize your presentations.  This book contains the timeless principles of AV professionals that have been lost in the rush to commoditize presentation software. 

The authors of PowerPoint did an amazing job of creating a tool that democratizes presentations, but the built-in templates (and for that matter most available templates) ignore one key fact: presentations are PROJECTED onto a screen that in most cases is washed out by room light**. And so the most frequently heard sentence in a presentation is, "I'm sorry if you can't see that..." PainFree Presentations details how to adjust your images so you'll never have to utter those embarrasing words again.

PainFree Presentations - training beyond PowerPoint

Training Beyond PowerPoint

And that's not all.  PainFree Presentations discusses the implications of room layout, sight lines, and in general how to handle distractions...including crying babies. Key concepts include:

  • The Setting - where, when and to whom you present

  • The Content - shaping your case to fit the setting

  • The Design - being creative within the bounds of human perception

  • The Delivery - how to make the screen your presentation partner

PowerPoint Has Consequences

You many never have thought about the consequences of a poorly designed or performed presentation.  It is said the Space Shuttle Columbia was lost because of "engineering by PowerPoint." Had they understood the persuasive nature of the screen, the outcome may have been different.

PainFree Presentations looks at the entire presentation experience, from planning with the presentation room in mind; to "shaping your content" and "dancing with your screen." There's far more to a presentation than PowerPoint, and this book covers it all.

PowerPoint in Academics

We virtually give away how to push the buttons that make PowerPoint run. But that knowledge is not enough for an effective presetation.  If you're an instructor teaching PowerPoint, don't stop at the buttons.  Teach your students how to apply creativity within the practical limitatons of projectors, lenses, screens and eyeballs. 

And if you're a student, grab this textbook and teach your instructors a thing or three.

About the Author

Steve Puffenberger, a 40-year veteran of the AV industry, became fed up with seeing poorly-constructed slides at various presentations, events and even webinars. People in the audience would work so hard to make out what was on the slides, they would totally miss the concepts the presenter was trying to communicate. But whenever Steve made the slides, the compliments poured in. What was the difference? The timeless principles AV professionals know. So Steve set out to codify this knowledge into a the book, PainFree Presentations™. Follow these principles and your presentations will also get rave reviews.
