Real talk: Has PowerPoint aged out of the conversation??

Someone told me the other day that PowerPoint kind of dated meโ€”after I shared what I do.

โ€œ๐—œ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ปโ€ฆ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜? ๐—œ๐˜€๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ณโ€ฆ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ?โ€

Iโ€™ll be honestโ€”it caught me off guard.

Sure, PowerPointโ€™s been around forever. But itโ€™s still ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น๐˜€ in todayโ€™s workplace:
๐Ÿ“Š Presentations
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Sales pitches
๐Ÿ’ฌ Internal comms
๐Ÿง  Strategic storytelling

(And yesโ€”itโ€™s still installed on nearly every business computer for a reason.)

But instead of brushing off the commentโ€”๐—œ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€.

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 โ€ฆ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.
He went from skeptical to โ€œ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜โ€”๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜?โ€

That moment reminded me: Itโ€™s not about the tool.
๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ.

So here's to challenging assumptions and transforming โ€œoldโ€ tools into extraordinary experiences.

๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ.
๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ. ๐Ÿ’ก โœจ
