How Many Remote Meetings Use PowerPoint Every Day?
2

• I took an analytical approach to figuring this
  out as there is very little data on the Internet.
  We all know that the population of the United
  States is around 350 million people.
• But there are a lot of people who dont work
  jobs where they are stuck in endless remote
  meetings. Then I decided to focus on just the
  information technology and tech sectors.
• There are roughly 12.5 million people working in
  this sector in 2021. These individuals do spend
  endless hours in remote meetings watching and
  presenting.
• My own research has shown that the average
  professional has at least five meetings a day.
  This results in over 60 million remote meetings
  using PowerPoint a day in the US alone.
• If you extrapolate this to the EU and Asia,
  assuming similar statistics and demographic
  profiles, we can argue that there are 200 400
  million online and hybrid meetings today that use
  PowerPoint.

How Effective Are These Meetings?

• Why are we all so disengaged? Is PowerPoint
  helping or are we using it as a crutch?
• I found some fantastic research that articulates
  the problem
• 90 of people believe that a strong narrative in
  a presentation is critical for engagement
• 55 of people say a great story is primarily what
  holds their focus during a presentation
• 46 of presenters feel that the hardest part of
  creating a successful presentation is crafting a
  compelling story
• Storytelling is important in presentationsbut
  its also difficult. Many presenters find it hard
  to come up with a narrative that works both for
  their data and for their audience.
• Most of us leverage the content that our
  marketing teams give us, and usually this is a
  linear PowerPoint presentation.
• A lot of people ask me how they can transform
  meetings and remote sales presentations using the
  tools that they have as we are not all born
  storytellers.

Storytelling is Not Hard with The Right Tool

• The trick I discovered is to tell a story using
  your existing content, where nothing has to be
  changed. We, and our marketing teams, did invest
  a lot of time and effort in creating amazing
  visuals and PowerPoint slides. So, lets not
  throw out the baby with the bath water, lets
  reimagine our presentations so we can take it to
  the next level without a lot of effort.
• According to research, effective presentations
  engage the audience using different elements
• 38 of your audience engagement is driven by your
  voice and how confident and authoritative you are
• 55 of your audience engagement is driven by your
  body language, facial expressions, and other
  non-verbal communication cues
• Only 7 of your audience is interested and
  engaged by the content itself

Your Presence in an Online Meeting is Key

• This is critical.
• You cannot be reduced to the size of a small
  postage stamp in the corner.
• You need to be as prominent and clear as your
  content.
• You need a decent camera, proper lighting and
  dynamically control the size and position of your
  image with the content during your remote
  presentation.

You Must be Non-Linear

• Use PowerPoint for its intended function as a
  visual aid.
• The slide deck does not have to contain every
  bit of information crammed into dozens of slides.
  
• It can be used as a generic roadmap for the
  conversation and as a trigger to pull up
  additional information as needed.
•  Engage the audience and see what they would like
  to discuss, bring in dynamic content such as
  websites and videos when required, compare, and
  contrast different ideas based on the direction
  of the conversation.
• Have conversations!
