Real talk: Has PowerPoint aged out of the conversation??
Someone told me the other day that PowerPoint kind of dated meโafter I shared what I do.

Iโll be honestโit caught me off guard.
Sure, PowerPointโs been around forever. But itโs still ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐ in todayโs workplace:

๐ฌ Internal comms
๐ง Strategic storytelling
(And yesโitโs still installed on nearly every business computer for a reason.)
But instead of brushing off the commentโ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐.
We had a great conversation. And after hearing what he actually needed (you guessed it, a clear, compelling, visual story), I asked if I could show a few examples of my work.
And once I shared my screen โฆ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ.
He went from skeptical to โ๐ช๐ฎ๐ถ๐โ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐?โ
That moment reminded me: Itโs not about the tool.

So here's to challenging assumptions and transforming โoldโ tools into extraordinary experiences.
