How to Ruin 1000 Words

We’ve all heard the saying that a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

But, what no one will tell you is that a picture can ruin 1000 words too.

And if those pictures are in a PowerPoint presentation, you might be in big trouble. Let me explain.

When you are telling a story, your listeners are creating a visual of what you’re speaking about in their minds.

It’s their understanding of the images you’re describing. Their brains are interpreting your words and creating their own pictures in their thoughts. And that interpretation? It’s leaving a mark. Those images are creating a memory with your listener that they will remember.

So, wouldn’t a picture only help a listener form a memory? How could a PowerPoint slide with a picture ruin your story? I’ll tell you how in this video and, more importantly, I’ll give you a great solution.
