When done right, PowerPoint can enhance your public speaking. However, most professionals use slides as their presentation instead of a visual supplement to it.  In this webinar, Faith focused on the Do's and Don'ts of PowerPoint, from standing in the wrong place when speaking to refining your speech before ever starting to create your presentation.

Because effective PowerPoint presentations should have visual impact, Faith has provides a handout that includes a few helpful resources for images and graphics (PDF).

If you missed it or want to watch again, you can play "PowerPoint is Evil. But if you're going to use it, use it well" below or view it on the LexBlog Support YouTube channel.

How do you avoid "death by PowerPoint?"

Join Faith Pincus, attorney and public speaking coach, for a free, hour-long webnar: "PowerPoint is evil:  But if you’re going to use it, use it well" presented to LexBlog Network members on Tuesday, January 24 at 9 a.m. PT.  This is the final installment in a series of client webinars that Faith is hosting with LexBlog on getting speaking engagements and what to do once you’ve landed them.

"PowerPoint is evil" will teach you:

• Why and why not to use PowerPoint.
• How to use it as an integral part of your presentation (instead of as your presentation itself).
• How not to abuse it (how to avoid anesthetizing your audience with it).
• Logistical arrangements that effect your presence and your presentation.

You can register at LexBlog's events center -- the password went out to an email to clients this afternoon; email Helen Pitlick if you didn’t receive it.

For those of you who are unable to attend, this session will be recorded and posted here and to LexBlog's support site within 24-48 hours after the session. 

I'm speaking today in Chicago at the "Get a Life" Conference put on by Total Attorneys.

The topic is effective blogging and social media: "Networking Through the Internet: It's Not About Technology". Part of the presentation will be online navigation and search results, but the Power Point file is here as well for you to download and follow along or read up on later.

You can also follow along online with the conference's live video stream.

I'm speaking today in Seattle and Thursday in Portland for the Northwest Chapter of the Legal Marketing Association on the topic, "Working a Room in the Digital Age: Social Networking for Law Firms". 

Much of the presentation will be live navigation of the Internet beyond this Power Point, but the file is here available for download for attendees or anyone else interested.

More information about signing up for events is in this blog post.

My presentation was on online thought leadership and reputation management, primarily covering blogs, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

As promised for attendees, here's my PowerPoint for viewing.

**Note that there are a few visual bugs when I use my PowerPoint slides on SlideShare.

You can also view the PowerPoint at SlideShare and download it from my SlideShare page. More of my past presentations to follow there.

As always, my PowerPoints are open game. You can steal as much or little as you like from any of them. Just give a little attribution - even if it's just 'I got some of this stuff from a lawyer guy in Seattle who's a Cubs' fan and runs a blog company.' And do offer me feedback as to what I can do better.
