Presentations: How to Avoid 'Death By PowerPoint'

The Bottom Line

Available for over a year

Few things in working life are as familiar or as dreaded as presentations, but done well they can persuade and even inspire. So what are the tricks to getting them right? From nerves to narrative, Evan Davis explores how structure, delivery and storytelling shape the way ideas land, and why clarity and connection matter more than ever. And is there still a role for the much-maligned PowerPoint slide? Evan is joined by: Abi Eniola, practitioner, RADA Business; Rory Sutherland, vice chairman, Ogilvy UK; Simon Gallagher, UK CEO, Euronext. Production team: Producer: Osman Iqbal Series Producer: Simon Tulett Editor: Matt Willis Sound: Neil Churchill and Pat Sissons Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison
