Significance

!"#$

Page 14: Death by PowerPoint by Alexei Kapterev

To “pass the information”?

Your boss told you to?

Or to make meaning?

Why do you present?

Page 15: Death by PowerPoint by Alexei Kapterev

What’s the subject and why it matters to you?

Simplicity

!"#$

Page 31: Death by PowerPoint by Alexei Kapterev

Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.“ ”

Page 32: Death by PowerPoint by Alexei Kapterev

Apparently, being simple is not that simple.
