PowerPoint and Presenting Glossary

I recently suggested to a leader I was coaching that he adds some humor to his presentation. He proclaimed with some indignation, But I’m a serious speaker.
Over the years I have listened to many ‘serious’ speakers who, frankly, offer an excellent antidote to insomnia. The drier the content of a presentation, the harder it can be for the audience to stay attentive. My inevitable response to my coaching client was, ‘Do you want to be a serious speaker or a speaker who is taken seriously?’

Ingrid Mengdehl is a Managing Design Consultant at BrightCarbon, a presentation and eLearning agency. Originally from an animation background, she stumbled into PowerPoint almost by accident and hasn’t looked back ever since. She’s passionate about good design, engaging animations, and thinks Morph is pretty amazing. When not making presentations, Ingrid can be found in the dark corners of a theatre, making sets and fixing things with gaffer tape, and even sometimes dabbling in projection mapping.
In this conversation, Ingrid talks about her participation at the upcoming Presentation Summit 2022, being held on location in San Diego, CA, and virtually this year from October 9 to 12, 2022.
