This is not that boring presentation – you're not forced to attend ... but you'll be sorry if you miss this one! Bruce combines humor with an insider's insight to examine how Microsoft PowerPoint differs from its sibling “Office Apps.” You'll understand how a software product mis-used and abused by millions globally can actually be used to get your ideas across without putting the audience to sleep; how being surrounded by art influenced the final product; how to go from Office zero to Office hero when you learn you are presenting at the meeting ... 10 minutes before the meeting starts! How simplicity, an understanding of your audience, simple presentation tips, and humor can be combined to create a memorable message – plus a bonus look at everyday user interface gaffes all around us in our daily lives.
