As I prepare to give software training to my peers, I am hesitant to do it the same old way. Instead, I am trying a different approach I picked up by reading Cliff Atkinson’s Beyond Bullets blog (and soon, the book “Beyond Bullet Points” when the library has my copy ready).

The technique: Telling a story.

In a moment, I will be watching Cliff’s web recording of a presentation called “Transform Your PowerPoint Beyond Bullet Points.” You can view it here. There is also a BBP forum that has some good back-and-forth discussions.

I’ll devote more time to this after the presentation/training. For now, a few links I am devouring today.
