Flipchart instead of Powerpoint

When I first came to the Solar Turbines conference room in Prague, I was suprised not to see any flip chart. It is unusual because flip chart is such a powerful alternative to PowerPoint.

Give it a try.

• You appear more natural and human
• You will look more confident
• The audience will be more engaged
• You will have to simplify your message ... and that's good
• You will be brief ... that's also good

There are just three things to keep in mind:

• Make sure you create a structure even on a flip chart. Its important to give an impression of well thought through and organised thoughts

• Use post-it notes to put up headlines on the flip chart. You will be more dynamic. And you will not forget your thoughts.

• Write short keywords only. Don't try to write whole sentences - keywords are enough.
