Simon Raybould started his working career as a researcher looking at the causes of childhood cancers. After his Doctorate he spent 24 years as a research scientist and even spent time as the Centre Manager of the world’s second most influential social science research unit at Newcastle University in England. The need to base what he does only on researched evidence has stayed with him. He’s also been a lighting designer for dance companies, a playwright and author, a professional actor, and even a fire eater!
In this conversation, Simon talks about his new product, the Presentation Design Pack.
Geetesh: Simon, please tell us more about your new Presentation Design Pack, the concept, and how it evolved?
Simon: Wandering around the internet, there’s plenty of advice about how to deliver presentations (“Don’t face the screen”) and there’s lots of training about technical things (“How to use the new Morph transition”). What’s missing was help with the process of creating the presentation and sorting out the content. These are the things that really matter in real-word presentations!
Getting that right makes presentations:
On the other hand, if you get the basics wrong no amount of tips or fancy transitions will help.
