Why do I hardly ever use slides?
Honestly, I do not like slides! After having use it for over 15 years, I can share with your clearly why I am not a fan.
To begin with, people do ask me, 'do you have slides?'. My answer is hardly. I get mixed feelings. Some are like ooooooooooooo and some are like, okay. But, its never a great!
This is what I've discovered over the years, and thus my decision to hardly using slides.
One, when I'm presenting, its not your eyes I want. Its your ears and body. I do not need you staring at ME, and the slides at the same time. With the amount of information distracting you nowadays, I had to pick one, I chose ME. After all, what I have on the slides is just an affirmation of what I am saying.

Two, the last thing I need is you taking your phone with much distraction to take pictures of my slide. From taking a picture, you can then get attracted to what is flashing on your screen! I will be long forgotten. Why am I looking for trouble?
Three, I do not like slides/notes. Giving you notes will only/ mostly likely lead you to filing them, after a while, long forgotten. I like to use your body. You see, when you use your body, your memory is definitely going to remember it! It will stay with you. After I have used your body/ mind, I can end of with notes.
Lastly, in what I do, slides are not necessary. There are certainly jobs that require slides, especially jobs that require you to show information. I chose a job that does not require that. I chose a job that requires your Body/ Soul to be there. My biggest need in my job, is my MOUTH! I've always got my mouth with me. So, for those of you , who ask ' do you have slides' ? Know, who you are calling up first!
